No. 18 [Visit] Fukushima Evacuation Centers, 41 Days After the Incident at the Nuclear Power Station

The following is a record of the exchanges between the Prime Minister and evacuees at each center. This footage was taken by a cameraman accompanying the Prime Minister, and naturally does not show those whom the Prime Minister was unable to speak with. There were physical and temporal limits to the Prime Minister's visit, which can be overcome only by imagining the feelings of those not shown in this footage. Actually, at one point during the visit an evacuee called out to the Prime Minister, "What, just passing by? Going home already?" As those travelling with the Prime Minister hesitated momentarily about what to do, the Prime Minister himself turned back and went to talk with the person who voiced this comment. The Prime Minister will continue speaking directly with individual members.
