The Tiny Capsule That Caused Brazil's Chernobyl

In 1987, a discarded radiotherapy machine in Goiânia, Brazil, led to one of the most serious radiological accidents in history. What began as a chance discovery quickly escalated into a public health crisis affecting an entire city. In this documentary, we reconstruct how the incident unfolded, how contamination spread, and the lasting consequences for the people of Goiânia.
