Chernobyl – The Crisis that Saved Russia’s Nuclear Industry
Created and written by Craig Mazin, Chernobyl is a 5-episode mini-series that takes us through the events leading up to the fateful night in April 1986 near Pripyat (a ghost town now) in Northern Ukraine and the after-effects of the incident that were felt as far as Norway. Incredible acting and top-notch direction make the events come to life and through all the 5 episodes, there won’t be a moment you won’t feel shocked and distressed at this man-made disaster.
