THE DEATH CLOUD OF CHORNOBYL / SMERTELNA KHMARA CHORNOBYLIA

A film about the impact of low doses of radiation, told through the visit of members of the youth organization “Next Stop” to the abandoned city of Prypiat. Dozens of hippies from Sweden, France, Japan and other countries arrive at the Chornobyl station after their boycott of a nuclear testing site in Nevada. The foreign youths are greeted by the local elderly self-settlers, who by force of habit continue to sell mushrooms along the road. Covering their bodies in paint, the visitors head to the fourth reactor to enact an anti-nuclear performance. The films begins with scenes of how tombstones are created, and ends with shots of a cemetery, although the overall narrative tone of the film is not tragic, but educative. “The Death Cloud of Chornobyl”, with its Pink Floyd-esque soundtrack, is also unique among other Chornobyl films for expanding the traditional political or eschatological aspects of the tragedy and bringing in a global ecological worldview and conclusion.
