Film Description

THREE MILE ISLAND REVISITED directly challenges the claim of the nuclear industry and goverment that "no one died" from the core meltdown of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in 1979, America's worst nuclear disaster. Through the testimony of area residents and scientific experts, the documentary presents compelling evidence that cancer deaths and birth defects increased in the area surrounding the Pennsylvania plant. The video reveals that the utility which owns the nuclear plant has been quietly awarding damages to hundreds of local residents who have brought suits, despite its insistence that no one was harmed. Produced on a shoestring budget by an award-winning investigative reporter and an Emmy-winning TV cameraman, THREE MILE ISLAND REVISITED digs into a continuing nightmare that has received little attention from the mainstream media.
