13-minute edit of the rally and march held on Monday, July 16, 2012 (a national holiday). Organisers estimate that up to 170,000 people attended. They were protesting the restart - "saikado" in Japanese - of two reactors near the town of Oi, a "political decision" that flies in the face of public opinion. All of Japan's nuclear plants had been taken off line following the disaster at the Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima.
In this version of the edit, excerpts of presenters' speeches are sub-titled in English. This should help viewers better understand how the protesters view the issues.
