Chernobyl: Years and Destinies

Synopsis: Ukrainian director Georgey Shklyarevsky revisits the region around the Chernobyl power station ten years after disaster of 1986, and reveals that the its devastating effects are set to last well into the next century. Three million people from 76 ‘dead’ cities, villages and townships have been officially registered victims of Chernobyl. Many have become refugees; others, along with 36,000 rescue workers, have developed debilitating, sometimes fatal, illnesses. Meanwhile the power station itself continues to function, backed, Shklyarevsky claims, by foreign aid and consuming between five and eight per cent of the Ukraine’s national budget.
