Synopsis

The accident at Chernobyl released at least 100 times more radiation than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Thousands of residents were displaced and an incalculable number of Europeans still hold the scars from what happened that disastrous night in Chernobyl. The accident at Chernobyl changed the image of the Soviet Union and provided a grave reminder of the true power of nuclear energy. But was it the catalyst for the downfall of the Union? Find out, as we take you into the heart of the disaster and what went wrong, hour by hour.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
