[...] The “problem with #Cuba” is that it spread its example of #solidarity and #internationalism within a destructive #capitalism that expresses the opposite.

The “problem with Cuba” is that it has been and is an example of self-determination and resistance against the criminal #blockade. It is the example of having become involved in the struggle to end the #SouthAfrican #apartheid regime. It is the example it provided when it received the victims of the #Chernobyl disaster. It is the exemplary commitment of the #medical and health missions that Cuba sends to dozens of countries, and that has deepened as a policy in the middle of the pandemic, when no other country dared to do so.

‘#Fukushima: A #Nuclear Nightmare’ Review: An Emotional Choice

This documentary offers a rundown of the 2011 nuclear meltdown with special attention to the shift workers who risked their lives while trying to stabilize the plant.

March 10, 2026

" 'We were told Japan would cease to exist if we failed.' On #March11, 2011, a 8.9-magnitude #earthquake and a #tsunami struck the northeast coast of #Japan, precipitating a series of hydrogen explosions at the #FukushimaDaiichi nuclear plant.

"The new HBO documentary 'Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare,' directed by James Jones ('#Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes'), offers a tense rundown of the aftermath by pairing archival footage with testimonies from the people who witnessed the events firsthand.

"In the days following the earthquake and tsunami, workers at the plant hurried to contain what they knew could become a #NuclearCatastrophe. Using diagrams, the documentary strives to convey the dangers on an elementary-school level: Without electricity, the reactors’ cooling systems failed, causing the fuel rods to melt and spew radioactive material. The schematics are paired with a tense score and sinister-looking footage of fiery explosions.

"In an emotional interview, an engineer named #IkuoIzawa recalls remaining on-site while the majority of the plant’s crew was evacuated. Knowing that he might not survive, he sent an email to his family members, imploring them to look after one another. Izawa became part of the #Fukushima50: the everyday shift workers who risked their lives for the welfare of Japan. Although chiefly a straightforward — and at points repetitive — synopsis of the events, 'Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare' distinguishes itself in its devotion to elevating these men as heroes."
