Based on the true story of Karen Silkwood, a rank-and-file worker at an Oklahoma plutonium factory, who was accidentally exposed to a lethal dose of radiation.

She was about to go public with evidence of dangerous conditions at the plant when she died in a mysterious car accident.

Release date: 27 January 1984
