Documentary Film “A2-B-C”: What is happening to Children living in FUKUSHIMA?

Reading the *director’s profile in Japanese website, I have felt that he has a dominating presence as if he were an alien.”  Probably, he has incarnated to Earth from the 5th planet of Wolf 359 in the constellation of Leo.  Although he has lost his memory of the planet he comes from, he might remember it when his comrades come to get him in the near future.  Brothers of the Galactic Federation stay close by us like this.
