Ep. 58: The Chernobyl you did not see on TV

Published: Nov. 12, 2020, 12:35 a.m.

What does an Icelandic composer, a Belarusian author and a Nobel Laureate have in common to do with the Chernobyl disaster? And why are we talking about Chernobyl 34 years after the disaster, and over a year after the world was swept up in the frenzy of the HBO show? In the sixth episode of Our Changing World: Stories of Climate Change, Utsav takes you to the exclusion zone of Chernobyl, beyond where Dark tourists linger, to bring to the fore a story of hope and healing, of how Chernobyl is doing after all these years. Tune in, to understand how a place once habited by humans and deserted today, looks after 34 years of isolation.
