Pensavo di sapere cosa fosse stato Chernobyl, anche se ero un bambino quando ci fu l'orribile disastro.
Poi ho visto la serie in cinque episodi che ne ricostruisce le dinamiche fondamentali, cercando di ricomporre gli eventi più significativi - sociali, politici, tecnici, scientifici, personali - che portarono al disastro.
Sono due notti che dormo male e faccio sogni terribili.
