Chernobyl the invisible thief
by Christoph Boekel / Germany / 2006 / 59min/ English
April 26th 1986. The day a nightmare scenario became horrific reality: the day reactor block 4 of the Chernobyl atomic power station exploded. Very little information about the true extent of the radioactive contamination managed to find its way out to the public. Filmmaker Christoph Boekel spent many years living and working in the Russian Federation. While researching and filming this project he met numerous victims of the atomic catastrophe. His own wife was one of them and she too, died of cancer. A moving and award winning film told from the personal perspective of the director, it is a requiem for the often forgotten victims of the disaster and a caveat against putting blind trust in technological advancement.
Candle night vigil in memory of those who lost their lives in the Chernobyl, Bhopal and other man-made disasters!
Sunday, 27th April, 7 pm onwards...
Music, theatre and some dance.
