Very cool 3 part documentary about the Chernobyl disaster which - I totally forgot about that - has its 40th anniversary soon.

And only in part 3 they talk about why it happened and about Ukraine today (Russian army dug trenches in radioactive soil 😱)

The link above is for the German/French TV network. According to the design team mentioned in the credits, it was originally produced in the UK or by National Geographic as "Chernobyl: Inside The Meltdown".

Here's the home page of the design company. I like the distinct single-hue style of their work. The actual shots have just a bit of animation: subtle camera pans and some floating debris/bokeh.

Youtube link for an English trailer which is way more hectic than the series itself. And it doesn't show any of the motion graphics.
