After The Apocalypse

  • slideshow_large

Synopsis

The descendants of the victims of the Soviet's secret nuclear test-site in Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan, know having a healthy child is not guaranteed. Deformed children are often abandoned in orphanages. Doctors and scientists blame inherited genetic effects from the radiation down the generations. Now the state response is a proposed scheme to 'clean out' those with bad genes' by preventing them from getting pregnant.

The film follows the city maternity doctor as he enthusiastically pilots the 'genetic passport' scheme. In doing so, two 'patients' who live on the test-site (one has facial deformities) are determined to exercise their right to have a child despite the city medical establishment's grim genetic prognosis for their unborn child's future.
