Description: A Japanese High School with a unique concept in Fukushima that is the first of its kind. Fukushima Futaba Mirai Gakuen (a.k.a Futaba Future High School) opened two years ago near the evacuation zone of the nuclear power plant in Fukushima for the young students living in the area. Ever since the tsunami, all I have seen and heard on the media is the negative things about Fukushima - I mean I get it, that’s what makes the headlines and catches peoples attention… and I have to admit even for me, before going to Fukushima, I pretty much had a negative connotation when someone brought up the word "Fukushima". I thought it was a dangerous place to go because of the radiation etc… However, after going this time, I realised that wasn’t the case. I felt behind all the negative things said in the media, were all these locals trying to get their voices heard by trying to make a movement and help their community become a better place. So I had to make this video to help them spread the word and show people another side of Fukushima and their kind welcoming locals who are open to share with you their stories. Thank you to all the students/teachers and locals I met. You guys are an inspiration. Keep on doing what you do!!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ★DISCOVERY CHANNEL "FUKUSHIMA DIARIES" DOCUMENTARY★ I filmed this video while on a documentary shoot with Discovery Channel, so don't miss their show "Fukushima Diaries" airing on TV throughout Asia or available to watch online after December 10th from this link: josen.env.go.jp/en/movie_publication/fukushima_diaries.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ➱ CONNECT WITH ME INSTAGRAM instagram.com/internationallyme TWITTER twitter.com/NZ2JAPAN ➱ MUSIC Broke For Free Sappherios
