For the last seven years, Knoth and journalist Antoinette de Jong have been investigating first hand the consequences of a litany of nuclear ‘accidents’ for people living in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, the Urals and Siberia. Knoth and de Jong reveal portraits and testimonies of families living in these areas that are suffering from all manner of cancers and rare diseases. Doctors described witnessing the rise of foetal mutation and congenital illnesses, such as hydrocephalus. Knoth’s work talks of a young girl’s battle with uterine cancer, of others crippled with growth abnormalities, and of a grandfather’s despair of the loss of his lineage and extended family to cancer.
