Understorey: Chernobyl 2 ~Dancing with Elms

Novozybkov is an agricultural and light industrial city of about 50,000 people, just 160km east of Chernobyl.  The Bryansk town remains the most contaminated town in the Russian Federation: the area proclaimed unsuitable for human habitation is marked 1km west of its city boundary.  “Midnight in Chernobyl” author Adam Higginbotham speaks about how radioactivity spread across Europe, while former Nuclear Disarmament senator Jo Vallentine shares some stories of how people have been locally affected, and not least of all, how the globally performed Elm Dance (music by Ieva Akurātere) came into being as a Deep Ecology response to environmental grief, and an intention to heal.
