Fallout
A National History Day documentary on nuclear technologies after the Soviet collapse
A documentary short made for National History Day in 2024 that took 1st place at the Long Island regional and 2nd place in New York State before finishing in the national top 20%. Fallout traces what happened to the Soviet Union's nuclear technology once the state that built it dissolved — the warheads, reactors, and scientists left behind, and the scramble to account for them. The cut leans on archival footage and a steady narration track to keep a dense, document-heavy history moving.
