Background

Chernobyl Children's Project International was founded in Ireland in 1991 by Adi Roche in response to an appeal from Ukrainian and Belarusian doctors for aid. As a result of the organization's work, two documentaries have been released; Black Wind, White Land and Chernobyl Heart. Black Wind, White Land highlights the plight of fallout victims of the Chernobyl event.[1]

Ali Hewson's involvement with Greenpeace protests against the Sellafield plant for nuclear reprocessing led her to become interested in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986.[1] After a request by activist Adi Roche,[2] she went to blighted, high-radiation exclusion zones in Belarus for three weeks to narrate part of the documentary.

Reception and critical responses

{{Quote box|width=27%|align=right|quote="When in watching the film, it's clear that Hewson is the perfect narrator. Her compassion and knowledge of the disaster and its aftermath is a true force and a voice all her own."|source=—Lisa Waugh from Rock World Magazine, 2011[4]}}

Black Wind White Land, was shown on RTÉ.[3][1][4] Hot Press magazine wrote that Hewson had "obvious gifts as a presenter, which include a sense of quiet compassion that draws forth the best from the people she talks with." Another reviewer said that the documentary was very effective until she started speaking.[1] Hewson was against the accusations about being used on the project because of her husband's fame.[5]
