Episode overview

In the shadow of a giant nuclear power plant, a determined woman refuses to budge from her little wooden shack. She's not going to let the powerful nuclear company take her family home - no matter how many millions of dollars they wave at her. The stubborn stand-off has become an inspiration for a widening resistance to nuclear power in Japan where more and more people are refusing to accept the industry's safety assurances. They're pointing to the recent Fukushima catastrophe and saying we don't want that here.
