You Were Born in Chernobyl — And This Is Your Whole Life (Pripyat, 1986)

You are born in Pripyat, Ukraine. A model Soviet city, built for the workers of a nuclear power plant four kilometers away. Wide avenues, a brand-new amusement park opening in five days, a future that seemed guaranteed. Then, on April 25th, everything changes forever. This is the story of a childhood spent in the shadow of the world's worst nuclear disaster — the evacuation, the silence that followed, and the exclusion zone that swallowed an entire city whole. This is your whole life. And it started the night the sky turned strange colors over Reactor 4. #Chernobyl #Pripyat #History #Documentary #1986
