The Horses of Fukushima
후쿠시마의 말들
- 국제환경영화경선
Synopsis | No one would have imagined the absurd fate awaiting Mirror’s Quest and his fellow horses of Fukushima. Almost dying in the tsunami; exposed to radiation inside 20km of the nuclear meltdown; shut away in stables for months because of governmental red tape. The horses are kept alive because of the role they must play in the grand traditional horse festival, but they’ve become a headache for the authorities. |
