Abandoned: Chernobyl

OPIS

With unrestricted access to the Chernobyl site, Philip Grossman examines the causes and outcomes of the events there. Was it an accident or one of the biggest sabotages in history?
In 1986 the world was shocked by a horrific accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant that resulted in a massive exclusion zone being set up around the site making it off limits to the public. Videographer Philip Grossman is one of only a few individuals who have been allowed unrestricted and unescorted access to the Chernobyl site and its 1,000-mile exclusion zone. Having shot close to sixty hours of never-before-seen footage in his quest, he investigates the causes and consequences of this world-changing event. And, he hopes to answer the question of whether this tragedy was indeed an accident, or one of the greatest works of sabotage in history.
