Nine years on from a disaster known locally as Japan's 9/11, victims continue to deal with the ongoing aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident. Tsunami survivors in other prefectures are moving on. But few in Fukushima feel the crisis is anywhere close to resolved.

The accident forced tens of thousands out of their homes, shattering communities, wrenching apart families, and robbing them of their jobs. Evacuees have lived in limbo for years, not knowing when they will be allowed to move home, or even whether they want to, given the shrunken and now inconvenient towns that await them.

what to watch this weekend
🎥 If you haven't already, you need to watch Spike Lee's new film, Da 5 Bloods.
