CHELYABINSK

It happened at 9:20am local time.  A fireball appeared from out of the crystal clear blue sky over the southern Ural region in Russia.  Rapidly increasing in brightness, it blazed brighter than the sun.  The lightshow turned dangerous when the fireball abruptly exploded, injuring more than 1200 people.  Some were burnt by the heat but most were cut as the shock wave from the explosion violently smashed windows.  The city sustained 1 billion roubles (£10m) worth of damage.

The full-length feature film, aptly named “Chelyabinsk (15.02.13)”, revolves around an alternate version of the events surrounding the meteor strike.  The plot centers on three acquaintances who, while visiting the meteor crash site, witness supernatural phenomena, causing them to question the official version of events.  Advertisements for the film feature the slogan: “Are you ready to learn the truth?”
