Using newly found footage, the documentary “Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes” takes viewers on an insightful and at times uncomfortable journey into the response and aftermath of the tragedy. From interviews to propaganda pieces, HBO sheds more light on an event that continues to influence viewpoints almost four decades later.
Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes
The story of Chernobyl told through a newly discovered hoard of dramatic footage filmed at the nuclear plant during the disaster and deeply personal interviews of those who were there, directed by Emmy Award-winner and Russian-speaker James Jones.
