Ashes to Honey (ミツバチの羽音と地球の回転, Mitsubachi no haoto to chikyū no kaiten), (literally "Humming of Bees and Rotation of the Earth") is a Japanese documentary directed by Hitomi Kamanaka and released in 2010.[1] It is the third in Kamanaka's trilogy of films on the problems of nuclear power and radiation, preceded by Hibakusha at the End of the World (also known as Radiation: A Slow Death) and Rokkasho Rhapsody.[2]

Content[edit]

The documentary covers the long struggle of the residents of Iwaijima island in the Inland Sea of Japan to prevent the construction of a nuclear power plant across the bay.[3] It compares the situation to Sweden, where models of sustainable energy are being explored.

Production[edit]

Kamanaka began filming the documentary in 2008 and completed it in 2010. The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake took place right during the film's first Tokyo screening.[4]

Reception[edit]

In a poll of critics at Kinema Junpo, Ashes to Honey was selected as the fifth best documentary of 2011.[5]
