A meritorious but ultimately not particularly remarkable HBO documentary focusing on the chain reaction that occurred in Japan following the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. The beginning, with spectacular, often unsettling images of the tsunami, is the most interesting; as soon as the more technical disaster at the nuclear power plant comes into play, it all becomes somewhat more abstract and less engaging.

To mitigate the consequences of the explosion at the Fukushima nuclear power plant caused by the tsunami on March 11, 2011, 50 TEPCO employees performed heroic deeds. But because TEPCO had lied about safety for decades and had been downright negligent, it took years for the Fukushima 50 to receive recognition. Here, a number of them tell the story of the tsunami, the explosion, and what they did to limit the impact, supplemented by often impressively authentic footage. See also the dramatized version Fukushima 50.
