In March 2011, Japan was struck by a catastrophic earthquake, with the devastating tsunami that followed causing a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power station that sent ripples of discontent throughout the country. Director Iwai Shunji's Friends after 3.11 (2011) is a deeply personal documentary which uses the statements of some of his closest friends to express the views of a society in a state of political despondency.
The Radiant onderzoekt de nasleep van 11 maart 2011, toen de aardbeving in Tohoku een tsunami veroorzaakte die vele duizenden mensen het leven kostte en de gedeeltelijke meltdown van de kerncentrale van Fukushima Daiichi aan de oostkust van Japan veroorzaakte. Belast door de moeilijke taak om de onzichtbare nasleep van nucleaire neerslag weer te geven, reist The Radiant door tijd en ruimte om een beroep te doen op de historische beloften van kernenergie en de dreigingen van straling die in Japan samenkomen in de maanden onmiddellijk na de ramp.
