"Wada-Marciano’s passion makes for compelling reading— detailing Japan’s antinuclear cinema, she joins its refusal of the one-party democratic state’s culture of enforced forgetting and simultaneously challenges privileging the arty and obscure in Japanese Film Studies." . Professor Chris Berry, Dept. of Film Studies, King’s College London "Wada-Marciano’s insightful on-the-ground interviews and astute analysis of cinematic content and techniques —in front of and behind the camera— introduce hard-to-find postdisaster films and argue persuasively for the urgency of the anti-nuclear as a theme in Japanese documentary film." . Rachel DiNitto, Dept. of East Asian Languages & Literatures, University of Oregon
