4.0 out of 5 stars
Important polemic, Dec 18 2011
This review is from: Dark Circle (DVD)
Upsetting, disturbing documentary about the US nuclear power industry, and its
self-professed safety versus the facts.
The film is dated now, both in technique and some issues, and it never even
tries to be even handed. There are places where the lines between fact, theory
and personal point of view get unfortunately muddy. This is a film definitely
more for preaching to (and whipping up) the choir, than making converts.
Yet, some of the uncovered facts are indeed shocking (e.g. a huge, dangerous
construction and design flaw in a nuclear plant discovered only after years of
insisting it was not only safe, but `one of the most carefully examined structures ever built.' )
The film may be less than perfect , but that doesn't mean it doesn't still pack a punch.
