An astonishing and haunting documentary by Nikolaus Geyrhalter (Our Daily Bread and 7915 KM). which looks at life in the town of Pripyat 12 years after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe, referred to by its residents simply as “the accident”.
Geyrhalter creates a moving portrait of the everyday life of people who still live and work in “the zone”, the 30 km area around the Chernobyl plant where 116,000 residents were evacuated.

A motor-sports spectacle that kicks up plenty of dust. On the trail of the 2007 Dakar Rallye ‘7915 KM’ undertakes a search, along the way encountering the variety to be found in Africa’s present in Morocco, Sahrawi Republic, Mauritania, Mali and Senegal. ‘7915 KM’ demonstrates the extent of this distance, which is the result of political and economic conditions, and also the ideas and prejudices to be found in both Europe and Africa. It also makes the closeness tangible, which becomes clear in the stories of everyday life, work, hopes and worries. Keeping the sobering reality in mind, it creates an homage to humanity and slowness which questions deep-seated perceptions and the role of Europeans in numerous, presumably African, problems.
