Event Details:

This is a story of two women, Eiko and Yoshiko, who are distant relatives and were close neighbors in a small farming village, Iitate, in Fukushima, Japan. They lived all their lives in the village until a massive earthquake hit northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011. The disaster caused a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Powerplant which was 20 miles away, resulting in the evacuation of the entire village with 6,500 residents.

Discussion facilitator: Hiroko Crary, from Fukushima, Japan, and who currently lives in Ann Arbor, MI.
