On March 11th, 2011 a 9.0 earthquake triggered a massive tsunami off the coast of Japan. This disaster resulted in an estimated 15,878 deaths and trillions of dollars in damage, including a partial meltdown at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
In April 2012, Yogi, Buddhist teacher and activist Michael Stone arrives on a pilgrimage to Japan in the wake of the tsunami and Fukushima meltdown to learn how the Japanese are responding to the crisis. REACTOR traces what he learned from speaking with local residents, artists, activists and researchers about life in the aftermath. Rooted in old Zen traditions and cities with beautiful temples, he reflects on how to embody the Bodhisattva vow in this time.
