Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Belgian documentary maker Alain de Halleux returns to 1986, when almost half of Europe was contaminated by poisonous fallout after an explosion in reactor 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. As a result, a 30-kilometre zone around the epicentre is so contaminated it will remain uninhabitable for centuries. The film also looks at the “Children of Chernobyl,” the generation born during the second half of the ’80s, many of whom suffer from serious health problems. Such is the case with Julie, a drummer with the Ukrainian rock band Asfalt. Unlike most young Ukrainians, she and her band members share a lively interest in the Chernobyl tragedy, which is reflected in their lyrics. De Halleux also uses footage from the hyper-realistic computer game Stalker, which captures with chilling authenticity the grim atmosphere of a zone awash with radioactivity. This documentary, which looks at the impending impact of the nuclear catastrophe on subsequent generations, has a disquieting topicality given that it is being shown against the backdrop of the recent Fukushima tragedy.
