In the first video, high school teacher Amiko Namauchi details her life living 25km from Fukushima nuclear power plant. She says she is eating only food that the government says is safe, yet her hair and many of her teeth have fallen out and she has unusual rashes and lesions on her skin. She says that she has made herself a 'test subject to uncover the government's lies."

She is also caring for dogs left behind by Fukushima evacuees. At the end of the video, she softly sings to and cradles the grateful dogs in her arms.
