Reseña del editor:

The White Angel
The children of Chernobyl
have grown up
Foreword by Andrey Kurkov
Text by Gaetan Vannay

In Slavutych, everything is like everywhere else. And there s nothing tragic about that. The people who came there in pursuit of a dream forgot about it long ago. They just live. They live like everyone else, like everywhere else in Ukraine. They live and remember the past more often than they think of the future.
Andreï Kourkov

Slavutych is the youngest town in Ukraine. Located fifty
kilometers from Chernobyl, it was built immediately after the
nuclear disaster of 1986 in order to house workers sent in
to clear up the traces. Photographer Niels Ackermann made numerous trips to the town between 2012 and 2015 to capture the life of their children, young people full of hopes and dreams. Remarkable in its closeness to its subject, his chronicle shows the lives of the young Yulia and her friends, from their drunken nights to their journeys to the reactor checkpoint, their flings, flirts and divorces, and the dreams despoiled by adult life. All beneath the gaze of the White Angel, the town s symbol.
