A ghost town where the killer is invisible and nobody's coming to save you.
In March 2011, the world was stunned by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. Today, the people of Iidate, a town outside the 30km radiation exclusion zone around the nuclear power plant, are still suffering. The direction of the wind, rain and snow caused radiation to reach dangerous levels and the entire town was forced to evacuate.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Iidate's tragedy exposed Japan's 'safety myth' around nuclear power, directly challenging the state's post-war narrative of technological mastery and protection.
The 30km 'exclusion zone' was arbitrary; Iidate's contamination came from one unlucky rainstorm. Geography became destiny.
