RADIOACTIVE: THE WOMEN OF THREE MILE ISLAND [is] a compelling and significant documentary in the grand tradition of such trailblazing women filmmakers as Kimberlee Acquaro, Christine Choy, and Barbara Koppel … this is a film that should be rated in supernovas, not stars. — EDWARD MORAN, CINEMA DAILY USA (FULL REVIEW: HERE).
RADIOACTIVE: THE WOMEN OF THREE MILE ISLAND is a stunning and vital award-winning film. It asks the important question: should we or shouldn’t we with nuclear energy? First-time filmmaker Heidi Hutner presents this question with solid research on nuclear history and science, and she offers heartfelt compassion for the women and their families who lived through the meltdown at Thee Mile Island. This film is a must-see for anyone who cares about our energy future and our planet. — AWARD-WINNING NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC FILMMAKER, JON BOWERMASTER.
Watch our trailer here — it’s getting rave reviews:
A resonant story about a battle of wills, hubris, and energy – atomic, maternal, moral, and feminist.
At the prompting of an ecofeminism professor-turned-visual journalist, the four original “concerned” mothers, a two-woman legal team and a reporter, now all much older, wiser, and bolder, break open years of corporate silencing and nuclear industry doublespeak, and tell their stories about the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident, the worst commercial nuclear reactor meltdown in U.S. history. And though this disaster took place in 1979, the life and death implications continue in the spiritual, physical, and political DNA of the community, its residents, and their descendants.
