During the Russian occupation of the Chornobyl Zone in early 2022, an anonymous local informant is clandestinely filming the movement of Russian military vehicles. We hear the workers of the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant discuss their experiences during a Russian military takeover of their facility - an act of nuclear terror which threatened another global disaster at this site. Past and present catastrophic scenarios intertwine in this macabre episode of Russian invasion. This work has been developed as part of the Reckoning Project, a media and forensic effort to aimed at investigating and prosecuting Russian war crimes in Ukraine
