Forty years since Chernobyl. Volker Heise’s new film recounts the 1986 nuclear disaster for the first time from the perspectives of both East and West Germany and Ukraine, using archive footage only. TSCHERNOBYL 86 is a gripping political thriller featuring previously unseen archive material which brings the events of that time into an unsettlingly present-day context.
