Prime Time (2021)
Mixed Emotions
Bartosz Bielenia, Magdalena Poplawska and Andrzej Klak's performances were wonderful. I also liked the female police officer as well.
The title attracted my attention as soon as I saw it on Netflix, and then I was hooked by the filmography, story line and suspense.
However...
The bulk of climatic moments disappointed. From a social/emotional standpoint, after waiting until the near end, we never got to hear the critical message to the public which would have provided both personal satisfaction and social insight. And lastly, I was very disappointed in the stage crew's responses (and lack thereof) as well as decisions made by police.
3.11: Surviving Japan (2013)
From the Pacific Coast
The creation process of "Surviving Japan" was fascinating to watch in itself. Chris Nolan was still volunteering on the clean-up and reconstruction project in Japan when he recognized that events were not being fully covered by news outlets. Without real-time footage, the world could not imagine the vastness of destruction or the plight of a people who desperately required assistance from the global community.
This is not just a Japan problem. The tell-tale signs of devastation have begun depositing unprecedented debris on our beaches, raising awareness and forming questions for Pacific Coast residents from California to Alaska. The Pacific Islands, Mexico and Canada are also vulnerable.
"Surviving Japan" is a must see for everyone: for those who wish to help survivors and those who are concerned for their own well-being with respect to radiation exposure at home.
