Director Kyoko Miyake visits the coastal town of her youth where she would spend summers with her aunt, only to find it a forbidden zone marred by radiation. An absorbing documentary on a town’s conflicting history with nuclear power and the consequences of the 3.11 disaster, My Atomic Aunt is an affecting glimpse into the dissolution of a community and an entire way of life.
