Tatsuko Ogawara has been an organic farmer near Tamura City, 40km from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, for 30 years. She says that she is afraid for her children's future, and feels ashamed that she didn’t take action against the nuclear power station before it was too late. She no longer knows if she can continue as a farmer, as the soil in the area may be contaminated. Greenpeace is working in the area to monitor radioactive contamination of food and soil to estimate the health and safety risks for the local population.

Hu Zhenlai has lived on the water all her life. At the end of the 80s, she moved with her family from the Hongze Lake in Jiangsu province to catch fish on the Yangtze river.
Now her son has followed his father s footsteps and became a fisherman. But the number of fish in the Yangtze is declining.
This spring, only two out of Yanglingang s six large boats have made a profit catching saury.
Those who rely primarily on fishing are all living in impoverished conditions, with only their boats and no houses on land. Hu Zhenlai spends her days on the boat taking care of her grandson, who attends school.

Children walk along a road which had earlier been assessed by a Greenpeace team for radioactive contamination. The team found the road to contain high, unsafe levels of contamination. The city of Fukushima has been contaminated by radioactive fallout from the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Within the city, local authorities are now undertaking a clean up operation of soil from school and nursery school playgrounds.
