Karen Silkwood-martyred to protect big government and corporations.
Based on factual events about a 'whistleblower' at a plutonium plant (Kerr-McGee) where many safety violations occurred jeopardizing the workers.and product safety. Names of some of the characters portrayed were changed in the movie because a lawsuit was pending by Karen's family against K-M. Based on later investigations after the initial finding of a 'single car accident' that suggested Karen fell asleep at the wheel or was impaired by drugs/alcohol strongly suggest that her car was forced/run off the road and into the culvert resulting in her immediate death.Independent articles written by investigating reporters also uncovered possibility of conspiracy of illegal sale of plutonium from this plant (and others) to entities outside the U.S. She was most likely contaminated with plutonium planted in her urine test bottles and her make-up at home. The movie sticks with most of the credible facts as known at the time of production. Very good movie however I suggest persons really interested in Karen's suspicious death, read dome of the books available. Coverup, consipiracy and murder.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Silkwood
Based on a true story Karen Silkwood lives a free-spirited existence with two friends who work with her at an Oklahoma nuclear facility. It's only when she discovers she's been exposed to radiation that Karen's conscience awakens, and soon she is digging for evidence of wrongdoing at her company. But her sudden zeal for safer working conditions may come at a high price as she alienates friends and possibly even puts her own life in peril.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
