The Day That Almost Ended the World
One of the most emotionally difficult videos I’ve ever worked on. Pain, pain, and more pain. Watching countless hours of footage — the tears of survivors, entire towns reduced to rubble, and the silence in places where life existed just a day before — it becomes almost impossible to hold back your own emotions. More than 20,000 lives lost. 💔
It began with a powerful earthquake off the coast of Tohoku. Moments later came a massive tsunami that destroyed everything in its path. 🌊 And then, as Japan was still trying to grasp the scale of the disaster, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident unfolded — the most severe nuclear incident since Chernobyl. ☢️
This is the story of a catastrophe that changed Japan and the world forever. A remembrance of those whose lives were taken by the waves, and of those who survived the unimaginable. 🕊️
