I have a hard time watching films like Silkwood, because I have no tolerance for people who let their companies/organizations/governments get away with crimes that endanger human beings...because it saves money or turns a better profit. It is immoral. Karen Silkwood was one of the many people who was punished--possibly killed--for trying to do what was right. This film is quiet and sobering, incredibly well written, and heartbreaking.
