A short film based on current conditions in Chernobyl & Pripyat. Please note, I am an amateur documentary filmaker and this documentary was made on no budget. The only cost involved were just the travel expenses to the Ukraine.

I'm simply the poster, the above comments are from the Youtube video link.

1. amazing

Is it still contaminated just on the street in Pripiyat? I am sure the water tooi... what about animals? what did you see in terms of rodents,squirrels, deer, dogs...etc?

there is so much to be learned from this disaster, and it is so haunting that those places must remain abandoned for thousands of years...

are they building the new 'sarcophagus' around the reactor now?

This just brings so many more questions to mind, especially in light of watching Fukushima and how that is being handled....

2. Congratulations. You have created an incredible work of art...

...capturing the great beauty and lurking horror of a magical place touched and destroyed by human technology.

I grew up in Idaho Falls, Idaho. My father and the fathers of many of my childhood friends worked at the National Reactor Testing Station in the desert between Idaho Falls and Arco. I often say that my father worked as a breeder in rural Idaho...breeding plutonium from uranium. He was a key engineer in developing the Fuel Cycle for the Experimental Breeder Reactor (EBR-II). He was proud of his work, but I know he also understood the inherent dangers of his creation. Dad died 2 years after Chernobyl. We didn't have an opportunity to discuss the implications of that disaster, but I am certain he would have emphasized that an equal catastrophe was only one human error away from where we lived.
