Meet the Japanese couple risking radiation exposure to care for their cows. Mitsuhide and Mikiko Ikeda run a farm near the town of Okuma, just six kilometres from the Fukushima nuclear plant which was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami of 2011. The area around the plant is now an exclusion zone with the population evacuated and government instructions to kill contaminated livestock. But the Ikedas are ignoring those instructions and return every day to look after their beloved cows.
