Chernobyl

I imagine you have seen Chernobyl already, but if you haven't you too will be riveted by the acting, cinematography, and storytelling. Usually, I'm not too fond of a dramatization of recent events (though it was 30 years ago), but the former Soviet Union has severely restricted access to information, which is the point of the series in the first place. I am not alone in loving this piece as it won 10 Emmy's and a couple of Golden Globes. The Series makes a strong case that this seminal event contributed to bringing down the Soviet Union and its subversion of its people. It seems that unmitigated disasters can indeed have a silver lining which should give us some modicum of hope..
