Event of the Month Recap
April 24, 2013 FCC welcomed the documentary film director Jeffrey Jousan and his latest work “Women of Fukushima,” featuring six ordinary women in Fukushima who, in the wake of the nuclear power plant fiasco after 3/11, stood up to publicly protest against the central and local governments on their inaction for protecting people from nuclear danger and their concealment of critical information from the public.
