RADIOACTIVE: The Women of Three Mile Island, an award-winning feature documentary about the 1979 Three Mile Island meltdown--recounts the story of the worst commercial nuclear accident in U.S. history. 

RADIOACTIVE covers the never-before-told stories of four intrepid homemakers, two lawyers who took the local community's case all the way to the Supreme Court, and a young female journalist who was caught in the radioactive crossfire. 

RADIOACTIVE features activist and actor Jane Fonda – whose film, CHINA SYNDROME (a fictional account of a nuclear meltdown), opened 12 days before the real disaster in Pennsylvania. 

RADIOACTIVE also breaks the story of a radical new health study (in process) that may finally expose the truth of the meltdown. For over forty years, the nuclear industry has done all in their power to cover up their criminal actions, claiming, as they always do, "No one was harmed and nothing significant happened." 

In this thrilling feminist documentary, indomitable women fight back against the nuclear industry Goliath to expose one of the worst cover-ups in U.S. history. (USA, 2023, 76 min., color, DCP | Dir. Heidi Hutner)
