CHERNOBYL – Utopia in Flames

Synopsis

The Chernobyl disaster was the worst nuclear accident in history – and the end of a utopia: the achievements of the New Human. Those who worked there were chosen for their skills, and lived a dream that most of us today can hardly fathom. But this dream was torn asunder on April 26, 1986. With contemporary witnesses, high-end animations, previously unpublished archive and new footage from the nuclear exclusion zone, we immerse ourselves in the Atomic Age of the Soviet Empire. We uncover the whole true story from the early 1970s up to the harbingers of the current Russian/Ukrainian war.
