The Aral Sea Disaster | It Was Not an Accident

Описание: The Aral Sea Disaster | It Was Not an Accident

The Aral Sea was once the fourth largest lake on Earth. Today, it is a toxic desert.

In this documentary, we investigate how one of the greatest environmental disasters in modern history unfolded — and whether the destruction of the Aral Sea was truly accidental, or the result of deliberate political and economic decisions made during the Soviet era.

Massive irrigation projects diverted the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers to fuel cotton production. What followed was ecological collapse, poisoned dust storms, collapsing fisheries, and entire communities left behind.

Was it miscalculation — or something far more disturbing?

This is the story of how a sea disappeared.
