History, power, and narrative. Chernobyl is still there.

This essay intends to investigate, as the title alludes to,
the nature of the relationship between the fictional dimension
and the historical event and the representation of
truth conditions. As it is well known, the HBO Chernobyl
mini-series (2019) is characterized by its meticulous attention
to historical accuracy and detail in its depiction of the
events surrounding the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The
creators, led by writer Craig Mazin, conducted extensive research
and consulted experts to ensure a faithful portrayal of
the events. On the one hand, the series blurs the line between
fiction and non-fiction, dramatizing actual events and presenting
them in narrative form.
