More on the film:
Run time: 39 min.
On April 26, 1986, the worst nuclear accident in history occurred when a reactor
exploded at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, releasing 90 times the
radioactivity of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Sixteen years
later, award-winning filmmaker Maryann De Leo took her camera to ground zero,
following the devastating trail radiation leaves behind in hospitals, orphanages,
mental asylums and evacuated villages. The Academy AwardŽ-winning documentary
short debuts immediately after the America Undercover special "Indian Point: Imagining
the Unimaginable".
Following Adi Roche, founder of Ireland's Chernobyl Children's Project, CHERNOBYL
HEART opens in the exclusion zone, the most radioactive environment on earth.
From there, Roche travels to Belarus, home to many of the children she seeks to
aid. The film reveals those hardest hit by radiation, including thyroid cancer
patients and children suffering from unfathomable congenital birth and heart defects.
