The Visible Enemy

On February 24, 2022, Russian troops entered the Chornobyl exclusion zone. They seized the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, holding the plant's employees captive, looting the premises, and using the zone as a transit territory for their further advance on Kyiv. The documentary tells the story of what the occupation of the exclusion zone by the Russian army was really like. The project's creative team attempted to establish a chronology of events on February 24 and collected the memories of direct witnesses to the events: employees of the exclusion zone, settlers, border guards, and a rescue team that spent the entire period of the occupation in Chornobyl.
