About

You can watch Silkwood (1983) on Hoopla with a participating library card.

Like most of the people in her town, Karen Silkwood works at the local nuclear plant producing highly radioactive plutonium. Exposed one day to a lethal dose of radiation, Karen faces the blank walls of corporate indifference and denial. As her illness increases, her protest grows louder and she becomes an obvious danger to the powers that be.

A suffocating sense of corporate dread settles over this portrait of a whistleblower fighting invisible, lethal decay. The quiet tension of a small town protecting its secrets turns into a frantic race against systemic negligence.
