On Friday 11th March 2011, one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded took place 18 miles from the Oshika Peninsula of Japan. The Tōhoku earthquake and resulting tsunami killed over 15,000 people and caused a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant - the worst such incident since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The Earth Asleep is an artist feature film by director UK-based Romanian artist Clara Casian, with an original score by musician Robin Richards of the band Dutch Uncles. Together the pair travelled to the village of Otsuchi in remote North-East Japan, to document the experiences of local residents.
