「飛び去っていく、うちらのこれまでが。なんも考えん、ぼーっとしたうちのまま死にたかったな（この世界の片隅に）より」8月15日。終戦の玉音放送を聞いたすずが、畑に飛び出して号泣しながら叫ぶ言葉だ。苦しい生活を耐えてきたすずだったが、これまで信じてきたものが崩れ去ってしまう。何の関連性もない2つの映画。共通するのは、両方とも観ていて「ボーっとして思考が抜けて」しまうところだ。ともに歴史にこれぞとない日本を襲った悲劇。2011年3月に発生した二つの悲劇。あの日、ソフトウエア開発をしている彼女は、千葉の自宅で大きな揺れを感じた。テレビから流れる衝撃的な映像と、破壊された地域の住民の声。彼女は何をしていいかわからず、家の中に閉じこもった。その日、彼女の歩いた歩数は10,000歩を超えたという。気が付くと自宅の2階と1階の...Fukushima:ANuclearStory

2004年の大統領選挙で、ロシアとの関係を重要視する首相のヴィクトル・ヤヌコーヴィチと、ヨーロッパへの帰属を唱える野党代表のヴィクトル・ユシチェンコの激しい一騎討ちとなった。開票の結果、首相のヤヌコーヴィチの当選が発表されると、野党基盤の西部勢力が、選挙の不正を主張した。野党勢力を支持するヨーロッパ連合及びアメリカ合衆国などの後押しで、再投票の結果、ヴィクトル・ユシチェンコ大統領が誕生。西部勢力が不正の解明と再選挙を求めて、首都キエフを中心に行った、ゼネラル・ストライキや大規模な政治集会を「オレンジ革命」という。東欧に足を踏み入れたことがある人は誰でも知っている民主主義革命だ。親ロシア派大統領ヤヌコーヴィッチ氏が、2014年2月にロシアに亡命。ヤヌコーヴィッチ政権を崩壊へと導いた武力衝突は、「ユーロ・マイダン革...FightSong
