The Horses of Fukushima

Met with critical acclaim after its release in late 2013, this interesting documentary now returns to Shibuya's Uplink for two weeks of special screenings. Telling the story of Miracle Quest, a retired racehorse who gets caught up in the 3.11 disaster, suffers from radiation exposure and lack of care but still manages to survive, the film looks at the tsunami and nuclear disaster from an unusual perspective. Director Yoju Matsubayashi will give a talk about the film after the screening on March 8.
