A documentary film, Samosely

I went to watch a documentary film about the situation after Fukushima Nuclear Disaster in 2011, Samosely today. Samosely means the people who have decided to live in a restricted area at their will after Chernobyl Nuclear Accident in 1986. In the affected area in Fukushima, a lot of people lived, but they have been displaced and still some areas are under evacuation order after more than ten years. Something to live for exceeds sometimes a life-threatening risk for a person, and it can be very personal and close to his/her daily life

Baba Gania, Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

Baba (granny) Gania in the abandoned village of Kupuvate, Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. She stands here in the old house of her neighbor, did (grandpa) Ivan, who died couple of years ago. She uses his empty and cool house as a storage space for apples, onions and other products of her garden. Baba Gania is one of the so-called "self-settlers" who came back to the evacuated villages surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant and stayed despite the radiation pollution and possible health dangers.
