Season

Part One

Air date: 2006-04-23

The immediate aftermath of the accident. Initially, the story is told in the style of unfolding news coverage as well as captured by a documentary crew: a mixture of news footage, studio footage, and camera phone footage from eye-witnesses. Thus, we get a sense of the immediate aftermath as it unfolds in the media as the average citizen would experience the crisis.

Part Two

Air date: 2006-04-24

A year after the fictional Sellafield accident the focus is now on longer term economic, social and human repercussions. We revisit and get closer to some of the characters we met in Part One. Through these characters, as well as through 'official reactions' and commentary from economic, psychological and medical experts, we examine the economic and social impact of the disaster on Irish society over the course of the year.
