It is a prophecy about human’s future, using lots of metaphors and intimations, to warn people the huge negative impact of Fukushima Water Release. Some things in the film may happen soon. But some will happen in a thousand years. But disasters will be more and more and unavoidable if we do not take actions. Moreover, it is pathetic that the worldwide main medias neglect this issue. So many people don’t regard this issue seriously. Time is almost up. It is urgent for us to put personal love and hatred aside, holding hands together to reduce the negative impacts of chain changes. Water release is not just a simple environmental pollution case. It opens Pandora’s box and will lead to human’s extinction. It is time for us to self-rescue.
