What environmental and human realities does the question of returning to Fukushima encompass? 10 years after the triple disaster, the new lives the former exclusion zone residents are making for themselves warrant examination.

The nuclear accident and ensuing evacuation turned their lives upside down. Where and how to start life anew after events like these? In addition to the threat from radioactivity and the difficulties of starting again from scratch, the inhabitants must now face the fierce desire of the Japanese authorities to re-conquer the land in the region of Fukushima. The Japanese government is decontaminating the forbidden zone left, right and centre, re-opening towns and encouraging the 80,000 residents who evacuated the zone to return. It wants to erase everything and start all over again, despite the still elevated levels of radioactivity.
