Sixteen years later, award-winning filmmaker Maryann De Leo took her camera to ground zero, following the devastating trail radiation leaves behind in hospitals, orphanages, mental asylums and evacuated villages. Following Adi Roche, founder of Ireland's Chernobyl Children's Project, CHERNOBYL HEART opens in the exclusion zone, the most radioactive environment on earth. From there, Roche travels to Belarus, home to many of the children she seeks to aid. The film reveals those hardest hit by radiation, including thyroid cancer patients and children suffering from unfathomable congenital birth and heart defects. Despite the fact that 99% of Belarus is contaminated with radioactive material, many people refuse to leave their homes behind. Asked why he would not move, the father of a radiation victim replies, "To leave the motherland where you were born and raised, where your soul is connected to the earth - I would not want to. To move to a new place is difficult, especially in terms of a job in Belarus and abroad." 655 4 Documentary films 260 United States : |bRoche, Adi, |c2004. 041 rus |jeng 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |990313FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_0502_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9145553FL |bFL |d2019-02-13 |l0 |oFL Record 0502 |pHU_OSA_00002255.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-02-13 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 JXd0JqXk 966 True |bHU_OSA_00002255 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
