Accidents Can Happen: Voices of women from Three Mile Island is a film about about the silenced story of the women from the Three Mile Island nuclear accident.
This is the tale of the mothers — Linda, Joyce, Beth and Paula — ordinary American housewives who lived five miles from the nuclear power plant at the time of the meltdown on March 28, 1979. The accident turned their lives upside down and awakened them to the politics of the nuclear industry and the silencing of truth. The women fought back.
