This film was effectively banned for almost 20 years after its production due to the British government deeming it to disturbing for general consumption. And it is very real and disturbing but I feel we should see this type of thing from time to time to remind ourselves of  the consequences of nuclear disaster, be it willful use of weapons, or simply an accident such as Chernobyl which left an abandoned city.

These control rooms were exact duplicates of each other. Also, Pripyat’s residents did not move back to their old homes. No one has lived in the city since the evacuation. There are approximately 300 elderly people (samosels) who moved back to their homes in some of the surrounding villages. The evacuation was fast, but most, if not all the items scattered around the buildings were strewn about about looters, who hit the city hard. I personally visited the Chernobyl area for two days in June 2006 with a friend and former resident of Pripyat. We toured the Chernobyl Plant (including the Reactor 4 control room), several of the abandoned villages, and Pripyat.
