A documentary about the exile of Futaba's residents, the region housing the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Since the 1960s, Futaba had been promised prosperity with tax breaks and major subsidies to compensate for the presence of the power plant. The town's people have now lost their homeland. Through their agonies and frustrations, the film questions the real cost of capitalism and nuclear energy. 7pm (doors 6:30pm). Village Roadshow Theatrette, State Library of Victoria, La Trobe st, City. $15/$12 (tickets at door). Organised by ACF & Japanese for Japanese for Peace.
