With climate change concerns leading to nuclear power being considered as a genuine alternative to fossil fuels, it may be time to remember the Chernobyl explosion of 1986.

This documentary examines the stories of the firefighters, soldiers and families caught up in the disaster when Reactor Four exploded.

Brighton-based filmmakers David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky will be joined by ecologist, physicist and poet Mario Petrucci to discuss how they collaborated on this powerful film.

"One of the people in my production company brought a book of poems written by Mario Petrucci into the office,"

Grabsky explained at the Cork Film Festival last year.

"I wanted to instil a very humanist slant on the subject, trying to get into the lives of the people who actually went through the accident."

Petrucci's haunting score, which accompanies the simple and moving images, aims to give viewers a stark and honest angle of the town.

"I think it's up to everybody to look at history and judge for themselves,"

added Grabsky.

"For me, it was important that the right balance between the images and the words were found to create what we did, and allow people to observe the situation for themselves."
