Inside Chernobyl with Ben Fogle

The documentary is a mess when it comes to conveying facts (example: we are first told that scientists have estimated that the zone will be contaminated for 20.000 years, but Fogel exaggerates this number and "rounds up" to 100.000 years), and could have benefitted from a few more historical facts and perhaps even pictures/video clips from "back then". Moreover, it's repetitive at times due to the editing.

Additionally, Fogel is not a very trustful storyteller, even though he seems to know some things about the subject; he is constantly exaggerating, being sentimental, and constantly puts himself and his emotions at the center of the story.

That being said, the documentary shows some interesting areas of Chernobyl (both the reactor, town, and nature), and introduces us to empathic people with interesting live-stories. Except for a few editing errors, it even has some beautiful pictures.

Watch it if you are curious on the state of Chernobyl, and then go read about it yourself.
