City 40

In the heart of Russia lies a Soviet-era city shrouded in secrecy, its residents living and working behind barbed-wire fences under constant surveillance by armed guards. Known as City 40, this notorious metropolis is home to thousands of people, including those who have suffered from the devastating effects of radioactive waste and unsecure nuclear materials. Directed by woman director Samira Goetschel, the documentary film offers a poignant look into the lives of these individuals, who are not only fighting for their own survival but also for the truth about the ecological damage caused by the city's nuclear factory.
