Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes

I was hoping that this would be as good, as HBO's 2019 tv mini series.

But it wasn't. In fact, I think lost tapes would have been best used as extras on the live-action Chernobyl.

I felt way more engaged, and constantly wanting to see the next episode, unlike Lost Tapes. It (the 2019 series) even made me go down a rabbit hole of finding out more things about the incident.

Lastly, I agree with williamruckman-73903. Narration wasn't good in The Lost Tapes.

This is some amazing collection of video out of Soviet Russia. The propaganda, the cover up and the horror of nuclear fission run wild and out of control. If you see this and still feel like we were justified in dropping these bombs on Japan, than you probably are a soulless person. This indeed should be required viewing for students. Yes, it will be very upsetting and uncomfortable in parts. It should be. These are lessons to be taught so that we as humans might be more aware of the consequences of hubris and overreaching government. I will never forget what was shown on this documentary.

Okay, I'll be honest. If you have already watched the TV Show "Chernobyl" of 2019, this is just a bit more, there are not that much more information. The Show actually contains more detailed information, wile this movie is more about "visualize the disaster" in a more detailed way.

In my opinion this movie or the TV Show should be streamed at high school.

Side Note: I want to believe that this movie release in this period is not a political manoeuvre, since there are some tapes that are about "America do better".

Chernobyl is what happened and no one can change it, but what if this disaster happened in another country? Think about that. Also, how many things are silenced by each one of your country? Think about this too before accusing.

Anyway, this is just my opinion, everyone is free to think what everyone wants.

If you hit the "back" button on your remote (I have a Roku) and then press "play" the robotic narration is turned off. This is an important film and very well done.

It's informative and gives you new datapoints that you need. Reading the translation is a pain I would have preferred an English narrative speaker. But hearing directly from people who were involved is powerful. I'm sure there is more out there that we haven't seen yet!
