You’re just a name on a list — and that list just sent you into the worst nuclear disaster in human history.Tonight, we follow your footsteps as a Chernobyl liquidator: drafted with no briefing, dressed in gear barely fit for gardening, and handed a dosimeter that might as well be a paperweight. You’ll clear radioactive graphite by hand. You’ll sleep in tents that reek of iodine and fear. You’ll be celebrated, then forgotten.This isn’t fiction. This happened. To thousands.
And tonight, in quiet tones and slow unraveling horror, it’s happening to you.
