The Nuclear Industry Has Always (and will always be) Been Corrupt To Make Huge Profits!
A lot of the low scoring reviews made by many, about this documentary, have clearly come from people who failed to understand just exactly what was to be shown and told.
The reviewer, chrisxhood14 states that it is "Heavily biased and over-dramatized (he/she spelt it it as over-dramatised so I corrected it for the readers) with a clear agenda". They obviously did not check to see what it is they would be hearing about.
This had but one agenda and that was to inform the watching world of the lies and corruption from the Power Plants owners/management. It was the most dangerous time in American history and the powers that be tried to cover it up by not telling the truth about exactly what happened in the 1979 Nuclear Meltdown. It was not meant to be about Nuclear Power plant improvements in later years etc. It was not about anyone being biased or against Nuclear power stations; it was about the sheer neglect for human health, life and safety. It was not meant to be a technical in depth explanation but rather an exact explanation of a huge cover up. Lying to the state Governor and to the US President. Its about money cover ups, cutting costs and the non stop flagrant disregard for the lives of the ordinary, everyday non wealthy people of America by those in power!
The thing that stands out from everything spoken about is that we, the viewers, learn from the very beginning that the plant was being run by people who were completely clueless about Atomic energy. Seven years later the American government cried blue murder about the April 1986 Chernobyl meltdown, because the Russians told the exact same lies. But at least the Russians gave thought to their citizens and evacuated all of them; American blatantly lied about the danger to their Pennsylvania citizens and, tried to get them to stay!
Its not the best documentary to watch (I'm sure they could have made and edited this far better) but, you finally get the truth from the mouths of the 3 Mile Island citizens; both the parents and the children of the time.
