When the Three Mile Island disaster took place, I was aware of it, being in my mid-twenties at the time. But I wasn’t exactly a news hound and politics didn’t interest me as much as it would a few years later. So my memories are fairly general and not very detailed. So this mini-series documentary filled in a lot of gaps and was interesting with its anti-utility slant. (Though it does give the other side a chance to give their version of what happened.) I assume the details were accurate. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time a large corporation has put profit above public health, lies and covering up over trolling the refreshing truth.
It mentioned the Chernobyl catastrophe that occurred several years later. Don’t expect this series to be riveting in the same way as the series about that tragedy, but that was a drama where this of course is a documentary, hardly a level field where entertainment value is concerned. But as a documentary it does just fine.
