A documentary film exploring the lasting impact of the Chernobyl accident on Bulgaria. Through interviews, archival evidence, and public testimony, the film examines how limited information left communities unaware of potential health risks from consuming milk, meat and vegetables in the aftermath of the disaster. The narrative traces the journey from initial silence through subsequent debates and widespread fear.
Chronicles of Uncomfortable Truth addresses profound questions about institutional responsibility, transparency and the public's right to truthful information. The film examines the decisions made behind closed doors, the disparity between those with access to knowledge and those kept in the dark, and the cost of silence when lives are at stake. It is ultimately a story about memory, trust and the continuing relevance of these lessons today.
This premiere screening includes a Q&A session with the director and a participant from the film.
