The shape of disaster changes from country to country.
The way it is covered up does not.

Former Asahi Shimbun journalist Hideaki Kimura’s acclaimed reportage 100 Hours in the Prime Minister’s Office is reimagined by a Korean production and brought to the stage.

Fault lines in society laid bare by disaster.
Was it a natural disaster—or a man-made one?

Having reflected on Korea’s past through the lens of Japan,
we now ask you once again:
How do you remember that day?
Do you remember that day?

On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake brought the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to the brink of catastrophe.

The Kondo administration, already weakened by political scandals, mobilized to confront the crisis. Yet power outages, inadequate communication with the plant’s operator, Too Electric Power, and entrenched bureaucracy plunged the response effort into chaos.

Meanwhile, the Yamada family, divided over the future of their ranch, and Mio and Fumie, a couple struggling with conflicting economic values, found themselves displaced overnight and forced onto the road to evacuation.

As the Prime Minister’s Office stumbled from one misstep to the next, their lives were swept along by decisions beyond their control, opening ever deeper rifts in the process.

“100 Hours in the Prime Minister’s Office” answers that question.
