Homesick by Maciek Nabrdalik is a study of Chernobyl disaster as a sociological
catastrophe.
In Chernobyl Prayer, Svetlana Alexievich
observed that Chernobyl disaster can be described with the same words one uses
to describe war: explosion, fire, evacuation, the military, damage, casualties,
monuments. If we look into the consequences on a psychological level, we can
refer to the same post-traumatic stress that was experienced during the postwar
trauma.
All of the people
featured in Homesick, including those who managed to come back, meet in a state
of longing for what they have lost, irrevocably - their homes.
Nabrdalik visited
the area twelve times over eight years.
In 2017 Homesick
received the Judges’ Special Recognition Award from Pictures of the Year
International.
