Chernobyl (2BD) - Blu-ray

HBO's five-part miniseries reconstructs the story of one of the worst man-made disasters in history.

In 1986, a massive explosion rocked the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, releasing dangerous radioactive materials not only across the Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian territories of the then Soviet Union, but also into areas of Scandinavia and Western Europe.

From the initial moment of the explosion, the ensuing chaos, and the deaths in the following days, weeks and months, the series Chernobyl juxtaposes stories of bravery and sacrifice with the shocking indifference of a government trying to downplay everything and, above all, absolve itself of guilt.
