The story of the Chernobyl disaster, now a series on HBO, is incredible. The workers ordered to their deaths, the "Liquidators" also called "Bio robots" who were Soviet soldiers ordered to shovel radioactive material which was at lethal levels, the miners who were asked to die, the denial of the Soviet government, and the overall catastrophe which is still felt today is just a story which needed to be told. I have heard the HBO series is amazing but I'm not watching it until I can binge watch it in its entirety. Without even seeing it, it sends chills down my spine.

Probably the best documentary on the Chernobyl accident. 2014 National Geographic piece:
