Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter
This video is one volume in a ten-part series that examines some of the most influential events of the 20th century. The film looks at how the explosion at the nuclear facility Chernobyl has had a profound impact on the world. The physical consequences were devastating. Equally so was the heightened sense of danger to the world psyche caused by man-made disasters. Archival film footage, photography, and first-person accounts tell the stories.
