Uranium Legends

The story of the Czech uranium clan, in whose shadow we still live today

The film uncovers the hidden history of uranium mining in what is now the Czech Republic — a story shaped by Cold War politics, human resilience, and the lasting impact on a once‑pristine landscape. Driven by a massive demand for uranium, entire communities were transformed, their lives caught between opportunity, secrecy, and danger.

The film weaves intimate personal stories with the eerie mythology that emerged around former mining sites. From the health risks faced deep underground to the environmental scars on the surface, it explores how uranium left a powerful and unsettling mark on both people and place.
