Join us for the final installment in our Spring Film Series, The Babushkas of Chernobyl (USA 2015).
This documentary film follows a defiant group of some 100 women that make their home in the radioactive Dead Zone surrounding Chernobyl’s Reactor No. 4, one of the most toxic places on the planet. A remarkable tale about the pull of home & the subjective nature of risk, the film shows how this stubborn sisterhood is hanging on — even, oddly, thriving — while trying to cultivate an existence on toxic earth.
In Russian and Ukrainian with English subtitles. 70 minutes.
