Jane Featherstone, Executive Producer of Chernobyl, Sister Pictures said: “Chernobyl is such an important story, which Craig wrote with so much humanity and passion, that it was vital we told it with the utmost sensibility and respect and gave voice to those who were there. It’s always been about honouring those brave men and women who sacrificed so much and it’s essential to remember they are still suffering the consequences to this day. I’m thrilled for and immensely proud of the whole production team, under the direction of Johan, whose extraordinary dedication to telling those stories on screen with such authenticity has been recognised by the Academy.”
