On the night of April 26, 1986, the reactor number 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, setting off one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. Drawing on over a decade of work, hundreds of conversations, personal correspondence, unpublished memoirs, and recently declassified archival documents, journalist Adam Higginbotham has written a heartbreaking and gripping piece that sees the Chernobyl disaster through the eyes of its first witnesses. The result is a masterfully crafted documentary thriller, a definitive account of a history-changing event that is far more complex, human, and terrifying than the Chernobyl myth we're used to.
“Chernobyl: A History of a Catastrophe” is an indelible picture of one of the greatest misfortunes of the XNUMXth century and at the same time a document of human resilience and ingenuity, evidence of the hard lessons learned by humanity, trying to bend nature to its will, lessons that, in the face of the upcoming climate change and other threats of our time, look like not just important, but vital.
