Chernobyl SKY TV Drama
It's a great show. Very chilling moment in history that I didn't know much about. If you listen to the companion podcast, it really goes thru each episode and gives the viewer more context and background into the history and production. But basically, if it's depicted in the show, it really happened at the time and was verified by multiple independent sources and eye witnesses. The miners really did strip naked and mine, which apparently wasn't all that uncommon for super messy jobs like that. What's the point of wearing clothes if they are just going to hold all the dirt/dust and be ruined 5 minutes into the day?
I am currently binge watching the show. Watched the episode with the nude miners in it the other night. The reason I waited to watch it was because in September I toured the the real site. That was simply haunting to explore. An abandoned city of 50000 thousand, farm villages and with two football fields away from the reactor. I texted a guy I roomed with on the tour about watching the series. He has watched it himself. I told him I would like to have been a nude extra in that scene. He said I would have fit right in. He put up with my lack of clothes pretty much anytime I was in the hotel rooms.
