Dramatising the threat of a nuclear catastrophe
The producer and writer of Fukushima explains how they used actors and dramatisation to bring the disaster to life. But how much poetic licence did they need to use?
A seven-part drama has been telling the dramatic story of what happened after a tsunami hit the Japanese nuclear plant at Fukushima in 2011. The show’s producer and writer join us to explain how they used actors and dramatisation to bring the disaster to life. But how much poetic licence did they need to use?
And listeners give us their feedback.
