Ben Fogle: Inside Chernobyl

Remarkable for Channel 5

The feature length special doc follows presenter and adventurer Ben Fogle on a unique trip as he spends a week living inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, thirty-five years after the world’s worst nuclear accident.

Ben Fogle is granted special access deep into the exclusion zone and the deserted towns and forest, including the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant itself. Venturing inside its doomed remains, Ben gains entry into Control Room 4, where the disaster unfolded, and is one of the few outsiders allowed to witness the original Chernobyl sarcophagus. Anyone entering the newly opened control room is limited to just 5 minutes for radiation safety reason.
