Journey Inside Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone | Short Film Showcase

Christiaan and Kseniya Welzel ventured into Chernobyl's exclusion zone on the 27th anniversary of the plant's nuclear disaster and documented their experience. "Beautiful Ghost: A Filmmaker's Look at Chernobyl" attempts to capture the location's eerie beauty and convey the feelings the Welzels felt there. "Yes it's scary, it's a little eerie, but at the same time it was very peaceful," Kseniya says.
