Into Eternity - the movie

150 000 SECONDS TO UNDERSTAND A PROBLEM
THAT LASTS 100 000 YEARS

INTO ETERNITY is a multi award-winning documentary film about long-term safety issues in nuclear energy production. The film is set at ’Onkalo’ the world’s first permanent storage site for nuclear waste, which is under construction in Finland. However, all countries with nuclear energy facilities have to deal with nuclear waste for at least 100 000 years.

With the Fukushima disaster, Japan now has additional nuclear waste. Onkalo is an underground facility, but Fukushima is above ground, vulnerable to natural disasters, war, and economic crisis. The reactors, that suffered full or partial meltdown, will have to be permanently controlled and maintained for millenia on end.

THE EVENT

The radioactive evacuation zone is now uninhabitable. It has become a blind spot in the middle of Japan, a symbol of the dangers of blindness in thinking about safety. We cannot secure ourselves against things we cannot - or will not - see.

A TOTAL OF 150 837 PEOPLE ARE DISPLACED AS A RESULT OF THE FUKUSHIMA DISASTER.
