FEATURE FILM :
CHERNOBYL HEART
The Academy-Award winning film Chernobyl Heart shockingly and
movingly depicts the continuing effects of radiation on the
children of Belarus, the country most affected by the Chernobyl
nuclear disaster of 1986. The film inspired by Chernobyl Children's
Project International showcases the work of the project and
was produced by Maryann Deleo.
The film follows an October 2002 delegation of CCPI representatives
into the ‘exclusion zone’, to the Chernobyl nuclear
power plant, and follows the invisible trail of radiation to
the country's hospitals, cancer centres, orphanages, and mental
asylums.
The film prominently features the children of the Vesnovo mental
asylum. CCPI provides humanitarian aid to these children through
a comprehensive programme of renovations and nursing staff support.
While we believe that no child should live in an institution
of any kind,we were compelled to alleviate the desperately bleak
living standards of these children. Also featured in the film
is the work of noted cardiac surgeon Dr.William Novick, whose
work in Belarus is funded by Chernobyl Children's Project International.
Along with Dr.Novick's life-saving surgeries, CCPI’s cardiac
training programme offers long-term hope to children suffering
from "Chernobyl Heart." It is the hope of Chernobyl
Children’s Project International that the film will build
awareness of the plight of the children who continue to suffer
from the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986.
