and die from the radiation, because it's their decision, but these kids don't have a choice, and they're just going to die and have a shit life. Are there any kind of amenities there? No, everything is self-sustained. They grow their own food and get their water from wells. It's really bad, though, because the radiation from the fire rose up in an ash cloud and fell to the ground, so all the vegetables are really bad for them. A view across deserted Pripyat, the largest city in the exclusion zone. It is now deserted. They're going to get radiation poisoning from the vegetables? Yeah, and from the animals that eat the grass. They're just making it worse for themselves, really. If the kids don't go to school, what do they do with their time? I don't really know what they did with their time. Most of them were pretty ill. I went to this village and met one family who had three kids. Two of them were completely bed-ridden and, as far as I could get across from my translator, they literally spent all their time in bed because they were so unwell. One of them had cancer, and the other had a really bad immune system. She was also mentally and physically disabled. She only had one finger. It's sad to think what these kids are going to do when they grow up. Do any of the parents try to take their kids out of the exclusion zone
