A public screening as part of the workshop, Exposure and Effect: Measuring safety, environment and life in Asia (11-12 Oct. 2014), sponsored by Centre for Liberal Arts and Social Sciences in collaboration with the History Programme and the Humanities, Science, and Society Research Cluster (HSS@HSS) at Nanyang Technological University, and Teach 3.11.

Directed by Ian Thomas Ash (2013), the documentary, A2-B-C shows eighteen months after the nuclear meltdown, children in Fukushima are suffering from severe nose bleeds and are developing skin rashes and thyroid cysts and nodules. Citing a lack of transparency in the official medical testing of their children and the ineffectiveness of the decontamination of their homes and schools, the children’s mothers take radiation monitoring into their own hands.
