This program was one of the most haunting productions I think I've ever seen. The reality of the Chernobyl disaster was much worse than I imagined, it rippled through so many lives and is such a sad story that I was riveted throughout the series. From my very limited knowledge of Russian history it always seemed a culture of sacrifice, suffering and heroism. All of these things are represented. Then on top of the horror they are dealing with lower levels of the Soviet government trying desperately for a time to cover up the true extent of the disaster. The acting was extraordinary as they bring the heroes and suffering to life. Highly recommended.
