Radioactive Wolves

Chernobyl's Nuclear Wilderness
Mar 15, 2016miaone rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
The horror that the Chernobyl accident perpetrated on millions of innocent beings is shown, quietly and effectively, by the abandoned apartments, child care centers, and playgrounds. The people are gone, of course, but wild animals remain in the forests that have overtaken previous croplands and parts of the city. The plants and animals seem to be thriving, and are being studied by devoted scientists who seem very brave to me. When people living nearby get hungry, sometimes they poach fish and animals for food. What effect all the radiation will have on them and on the animals in the long run is not yet known, but I found the film quite poignant.
