SILKWOOD

NOMINATED FOR FIVE ACADEMY AWARDS, INCLUDING BEST DIRECTOR, SILKWOOD IS A POWERFUL AND COMPELLING FILM.

Like most people in her Oklahoma home town, Karen Silkwood (Meryl Streep) worked in a facility that produced highly radioactive plutonium. The plant balanced profits against worker safety, and Karen herself participated in this charade of economic survival…until the inevitable happened to her. Exposed to a lethal dose of plutonium poisoning, Karen faced the indifference and denial of her company. Too spirited to be silenced, she voiced her protests and became a threat to her company…to an entire industry and the government agencies that monitored it. One day she left to meet with a reporter, intending to blow the whistle on the dangerous practices of her plant. Powers are trying to stop her that are as potentially lethal as the atom bomb!
