The Babushkas of Chernobyl

Thursday, May 16 from 5pm-7pm

Doors open at 4pm for opportunity to explore the grounds and grab a drink from our cash bar

Stylish and stubborn, these fascinating women have survived, and even thrived, on some of the most toxic land on Earth.  They are the last survivors of a community who refused to leave their ancestral homes after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.

But the babushkas aren’t the only risk-takers: scientists, bureaucrats and even young men and women called “Stalkers” (who break in illegally to pursue their video game-inspired fantasies) explore the dystopian Zone and seek out its defiant residents.  A startling and affirming portrait of a community that tells a remarkable tale about the pull of home, the healing power of shaping one’s own destiny and the subjective nature of risk.
