Yarn 17 / Season 2 / February 18, 2020 / 52 min
We spend two days exploring the Chernobyl exclusion zone and we stay overnight, in Chernobyl’s only functioning hotel.
We look at the zone’s most intriguing sites and its recently declassified secret origin. So come with us as we explore what was once, the most dangerous place on earth.
We visit the Mezhyhirya estate in Ukraine.
For our third season we focus on one story in this two part Docu-Drama. The true story of Hermann Goertz, the Nazi spy who landed in neutral Ireland during the Second World War, on a mission to meet the IRA and organise a German-led invasion of Northern Ireland.
Modern piracy and the hijacking of the Petro Ranger. You probably don’t think of pirates as wearing expensive suits and working in high rise office buildings. In the 90’s the biggest pirates of South East Asia were impossible to tell apart from high powered business people. It was hard to tell them apart because they could be both. This is the true story of one of the most sophisticated pirate syndicates in South East Asia and its mythic leader Mister Wong.
