A Cruel Wind Blows: The Soviet Nuclear Legacy

A lost chapter in Soviet history revealed... Between 1949 and 1989, the Soviet Union set off 500 nuclear test bombs in north eastern Kazakhstan. The secret program created one of the most radioactive places on earth. Nearby villages were never evacuated. Generations continue to suffer from horrifying disease and mutations in the aftermath of the deadly experiment--one that rivals the destruction and tragedy of Chernobyl. A Cruel Wind Blows is a documentary shot in and around the site where these bombs were detonated, known by the nearby villagers as ‘The Polygon’. This was the first documentary ever filmed on the ground, and the first to reveal this tragic story to Western eyes. The film unravels the story of the Russian government’s experiments while revealing the physiological and psychological damage done to the peoples of the nearby villages.
