DESCRIPTION:Activist Chieko Shiina organized as a youth in farmer and student 
 movements. She participated in the fight against the US-Japan Mutual 
 Security Treaty, opposing the strengthening of military ties between the 
 two countries. After the earthquake on March 11, 2011 and the subsequent 
 ongoing nuclear disaster, she helped form Fukushima Women Against Nuclear 
 Power, reached out to communities of affected women all over Japan to 
 support local organizing against nuclear power, and coordinated with 100 
 women from Fukushima to set up a “Women’s 10 Months and 10 Days 
 Sit-In”, which became a space for women from all over Japan to gather, 
 communicate, and organize in a space called Occupy Kasumigaseki set up in 
 front of the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.\n\nThe documentary 
 Fukushima Never Again tells the story of the Fukushima nuclear plant 
 meltdowns in March of 2011 and exposes the cover-up orchestrated by TEPCO 
 (Tokyo Electric Power Company) and the Japanese government.\n
