[hercules858]

Cool doco, thanks for uploading, goes to show the strength of nature can overcome the atrocities of mankind.. 1 for nature 0 for mankind :-)

[18T220]

Just watched all 5 parts, thanks for the upload.

[ChargersRock13]

Thank you for putting this up!

[zythepsarian]

i liked this docu but it tries to downplay how bad radiation is, dont be fooled, radiation is badass

[cgc1997]

I doubt that guy had any idea that his cat is radioactive.

[Threetails]

@cgc1997 "I shall call her 'Glowy.'" LOL

[Sara3346]

@xlaimuxllt Nope

[xlaimuxllt]

probably these animals glow in dark :D

but i enjoyed this series very much 

[ThatTallDude27]

great documentary, really enjoyed watching it... i dont agree with the ending though, i know that the cat isnt exactly going to radiate the radiation in its body, but if it has another litter of kittens it will be creating cats with a higher chance of illness and will thus taint the next generation of cats in the area

[PatrykGTS]

Cool!!!! just great

[Dziumdziumas]

a freakin happy ending - freakin radio active cat becomes a house cat ! ...because of the radio active objects that were stolen from Pripyat by raders and sold in cheap markets , whole families have died of cancer and other deadly illnesses just by having a radio active tv or a fridge...animals are no exception...just that now the radiation contamination is less but still very dangerous..they couldve thought of a better ending i think.

[NavinToast]

many thanks to uploader i love documentaries about Chernobyl

[Alphaigniter]

so she left her cubs to go and live safely with humans while her other cubs are in danger of getting eaten by bears?

[xxamiisaurusxx]

@Alphaigniter Young cats are not called cubs, they are kittens. Young bears are called cubs. Chill it's a documentary and the story about the cats is obviously dramatized.

[RickReidProductions]

I wonder how the hell there getting some of those shots??? Good documentary though! 4/5

[Karinthehybrid193]

beautiful :),

[calaftheeast]

It's unbelievable to think a place that looks this idyllic and clean on the surface, thriving with life, could in fact be the most poisonous and lethal place in the world. Such an irony.

[weedeaterbike]

wonderfull movie thank you  MEOW!!! lol

[Highlife740]

But isent it unsafe for a highly radioactive cat heading into a populated society?

[dundercat79]

@Highlife740 Don't eat the cat?

[calaftheeast]

@Highlife740

I have no idea. But those people are also living in a highly radioactive zone. There are still about 500 people living in the villages around Chernobyl. I wonder if the family adopted this cat though. Kind of hope they did....

[pepitobarc]

thx for sharing , thumbs up if u see this documentary beacuse u are a fan of STALKER game series

[Missymgish]

@pepitobarc i know STALKER has been out for awhile now but i just started looking into it and it seem pretty cool so far :D

[SigEpBlue]

@Missymgish It's an awesome series, made by GSC Game World, based in Ukraine. There's supposed to be a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 out, sometime in 2012. It was the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games that garnered my interest in the Chernobyl accident, to find out what really happened. I was only five years old when the disaster occurred; now, I have a much greater respect and appreciation for the bio-robots & liquidators.

[UpNorthOutdoor]

So this didn't make the big screen, but Justin Bieber did?

[Gh0st420666]

2:40 sup bitches LOL

[jjd705]

this document is staged

[itapirkanmaa]

It's just so sad to see animals doing well despite the radiation they're supposed to be dying from. Even the top of the foodchain, the bear, seems blissfully unware that he should have dropped dead long ago. At least we can all hope for dangerous mutants in the future.

[Hamoth]

Suddenly the cat encounters a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and becomes another item in his inventory.

[saladin972]

@Hamoth hehehe i was thinking about that in part 4.. lol

[Video2Webb]

The whole film is supremely contradictory. Nature is thriving. It is growing in numbers. It is healthy. But the commentary keeps on saying that it is radioactive - doing this drumbeat of negative drama - "Be AFRAID" it exclaims, over and over... Could it be that the people making this film are not aware that the radioactivity in most parts of the Exclusion Zone is no different from that in many other parts of the world from natural causes and this is why everything is doing very well out there?

[micheldallairelive]

[1wanderingpoet]

Ok, so... guy takes cat in, cat mates with local cat, they have radioactive babies.. baby is eaten by bird, person catches and kills bird, person eats bird and then radioactive people? Great. I mean I know this is far fetched but it seems too easy to link the chain.

[Miskarekola]

@1wanderingpoet They couldnt take the cat in. Cat couldnt mate with the local cat. Humans do not eat predator birds. Your theory fails in many ways.

[poiery]

As i watch this video I get the urge to pull out my artifact detector and explore.

[elianpz]

almost broth a tear to my eye

[applesweeter]

Why can trees, plants, insects and animals can safely live there, but not human???

Please tell me if you know the scienfic fact behind!!!

P.S. What a nuclear active secert garden!!!

[Melinon]

@applesweeter

Because the radioactivity builds up higher in the food chain, and if people would eat the animals they'd receive too high a dose and risk cancer. Besides that the area is restricted so people aren't allowed there without permission.

[1wanderingpoet]

@applesweeter If you listened to the narrator, he states in this episode that animals do not develop cancer, because their life spans are too short to grow tumors, that's why. People -could- essentially live in chernobyl, but would eventually develop cancers or have children born with mutations. So, it's a good choice.

[CommentAccountA]

Thank you sooo much for uploadin!

[soverato3]

i wouldnt take a radioactive cat inside my home.... still she's cute=D

[MPOEO]

lol T.T but this time the kitten is not alone

[dickermeat]

fantastic doc, thanks for the share.

[jaimiecurrie]

Amazing, beautiful.

[mune014]

Glad that kitten didn't get caught by that bear... The ending really made me feel that one day human will learn a way to deal with nature without any invasion or harm, and we will live well with the wild life there too

[cr4yv3n]

Lucky cat in the end xD

Fluffly too.

[MisterGasMan]

fantastic documentary!

How where they able to follow that cat for so long. I think they have placed a chip somewhere on the cat to track it all these months.

[Enysvar]

HUMAN IS TRASH

[NioKitty]

4:17 omg kitten got swatted on the rump by the bear.. I'm glad they didnt get killed though ..except for that poor one by the eagle.. ^^;

[lol1320]

good DOKU great man great

[lol1320]

good DOKU

[jakexdk]

Thanks for uploading!

I feel so pity for the cats. And its such a story they have, that there could be made a disney movie about them :D

[XvChriisvX]

@AirsofterCanada you dont have a .44, your a airsofter canadian thats probably underage

[rungettothechoppa]

ok..

so one day the man and the cat are sitting near fireplace, warming after a cold day.

And the cat suddenly say "If you only knew where I was and what I've seen.. and pulls out a giant glowing artefact..

:D

[Oskare3]

This documentary is awesome !!

[woofer0doofer]

Postscript: The plutonium that the cat dragged into the house gives the man's daughters leukemia, and an electric fence is erected around the exclusion zone, where the bodies of animals decompose in great heaps. The end.

[piednestra]

@woofer0doofer You know, cat didn't lived in reactor, but in the zone. The fact, that the cat is from zone, but crossed couple of km's (or miles), doesn't makes this cat much more radioactive, than old man.

[OZPerpetue]

@piednestra Well it IS radioactive, if you eat it, but I doubt anybody (human) will eat it.

[malkiebroon]

@AirsofterCanada wtf?? they live well because no humans interfere. so you would save the kitty and fuck up the hole balance again? what about the poor birdies and bears that will starve because some a human thaught a kitty was cute? you even braught guns into it!! thats why they prefer to live in a radioactive place away from trigger happy weirdo's like you

[coolj2609]

@malkiebroon XD



[lolnus]

@malkiebroon ok i wudnt save kittens but i dont think the bears and birds wud starve bacasue they said earlier that ita was plenty of food there :P

[BleedingSunday]

@malkiebroon But kitties are cute. Sir your point is invalid!

[ceskyler]

THIS DOCUMELTAL IS GREAT

[exer45]

haha laughed at 4:19

[Mascherina1964]

Thank you for posting this.

Question: How much was the actor paid to 'adopt' the cat?

Yes, I'm a cynic.

[kievcityguide]

@Mascherina1964 The culture of Ukrainian people would be to take care of all animals - For instance: Feeding the street cats and dogs that live around their apartments.

[Mascherina1964]

Hello/Thank you for your message.I didn't mean to be rude.We do live in a cynical age (remember the little girl 'singing' the national athem at the Beijing Olympics?)

Now for my story: my 'house cat', Lili, was found by a friend in the street. It was -30 and the snow was piled high. I took her in. Her ears had experienced frostbite, her tail was as solid as a rock and.... SHE WAS PREGNANT! So... her ears were operated on, her tail amputated, and her two kittens were given away at 6 months!
