Radiophobia (2006 TV Movie)
9/10
Documentary about Pripyat and Chernobyl
26 May 2008
A preview was shown at the European Science Fiction Convention in Kiev in April 2006. Pripyat was a new town built in the shadow of the Chernobyl nuclear power stations to house the workers.

It is about the evacuation and fate of the town following the accident at reactor number 4. The actors were all inhabitants of Pripyat at the time. They revisit the ghost town and talk about the events.

The Soviet government was reluctant to admit that the meltdown had happened for far too long and many people were exposed to the fallout for much longer than necessary.

I visited Pripyat after the convention. It was reminiscent Andrei Tarkovsky's 'The Stakler'.

I wish it was available on DVD.
