Chernobyl: Funeral Feast (1993)

Seis turistas contratam um guia de turismo extremo para levá-los a cidade fantasma de Pripyat, que abrigava os trabalhadores de Chernobyl. Mas durante o passeio eles percebem que não estão sozinhos no local.

Three decades after the nuclear explosion, almost everything has been said about this ecological and sanitary disaster that made Pripiat a part of History. How did the greatest industrial disaster change the course of History, disrupt global geopolitics and, directly or indirectly, redistribute the balances and power relations of the twentieth century? The world will never be the same again. By retracing the incredible battle waged by the Soviet Union against radiation, this film proposes to retrace and enlighten an extraordinary story, while exploring the historical stakes in the medium and long-term…

Poliske was contaminated with radioactive material after the 1986 Chornobyl disaster. Soviet authorities did everything they could to erase the ancient history of this town, and after Chornobyl, they destroyed its future.

The film marks the occasion of the 800-year anniversary of Chernobyl: an epitaph to the nuclear power station tragedy. Lina Kostenko, the Ukrainian poet, joins former residents on their annual trip to the dead town.
