There are a series of intertitles throughout the film which read: To keep their location hidden from the enemy, Mayak and City 40 were not placed on any map."Plutonium Lake" feeds into the Techa River, which is the region's main water source and one of the most contaminated places on Earth.Half a million people living in the Ozersk region have been exposed to five times the amount of radiation as those affected by Chernobyl.After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia's secret cities were suddenly recognized as places on the map.Mayak stores an estimated 50 tons of weapons-grade plutonium and 38 tons of highly enriched uranium.Since her last interview, Nadezhda Kutepova was interrogated by the Russian secret police under their "foreign agent" law.
A number of people featured are not identified for reasons of personal safety. There is a relocated man, a 'chocolate factory' worker & a woman with many dead relatives who are all interviewed anonymously in 2004 archival footage. There is also a male resident with his face blurred, a male nuclear scientist who never faces the camera and four different clients (three women and one man) who all remain anonymous.
"Herself (human rights lawyer): My name is Nadezhda Kutepova and I'm a native of Ozersk. I was born here. We were told we live in a secret place. There were spies all over, sneaking around, gathering information. My mother used to warn me, 'Darling, never say where you are from or a Black Mariah will takes away and you'll never see your parents again. Let state secrets stay secret.'"
"Herself (human rights lawyer): When someone goes public, it's much easier to declare him an enemy and fight him, instead of trying to change something in the system."
