Voices from Chernobyl

This film does not deal with Chernobyl, but rather with the world of Chernobyl, about which we know very little. Eyewitness reports have survived: scientists, teachers, journalists, couples, children... They tell of their old daily lives, then of the catastrophe. Their voices form a long, terrible but necessary supplication which traverses borders and stimulates us to question our status quo. This Luxembourg film, directed by Pol Cruchten, is adapted from Svetlana Aleksievitch's book ‘Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster’, which includes testimonies from survivors and witnesses of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
