Directed by Danila Kozlovsky

A sobering, melancholic account of ordinary people's extraordinary sacrifice in the face of nuclear catastrophe, balancing historical gravity with human connection.
The aftermath of a shocking explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power station made hundreds of people sacrifice their lives to clean up the site of the catastrophe and to successfully prevent an even bigger disaster that could have turned a large part of the European continent into an uninhabitable exclusion zone. This is their story.
