The ongoing Fukushima disaster on 3/11/11 and the project that resulted in our award-winning feature documentary SOS – The San Onofre Syndrome: Nuclear Powers Legacy, are both 13 years old.

It was Japan’s triple melt-down that triggered the film’s 13-year production process aimed at trying to help prevent a similar tragedy in California, where two coastal nuclear reactor sites and 3 radioactive waste sites are in earthquake and tsunami zones...just like in Fukushima. 

Amazingly, despite their dire situation, compassionate Fukushima survivors traveled all the way to California to warn us and to tell us about what really happened since both our governments covered up the facts.  We are deeply grateful to them and inspired by all the Japanese citizens who fought so hard and so long against restarting their country's reactors.

For that reason, it has special meaning for the filmmakers to commemorate this year’s Fukushima Day 13th anniversary. The film will be released for international online viewing this coming April.
