If you’re in the mood for a powerful, real-life drama, Silkwood is worth your attention. This gripping film tells the story of Karen Silkwood, a nuclear plant worker who begins to uncover dangerous safety violations at her workplace — and pays a high personal price for speaking out. Anchored by a deeply compelling performance from Meryl Streep, the film explores themes of courage, truth, and the cost of integrity in the face of corporate pressure. It’s not loud or flashy, but it stays with you in a quiet, unsettling way.

Perfect for viewers who appreciate thoughtful, character-driven cinema, this screening offers a chance to revisit an important story that still resonates today. Expect a slow burn that builds into something emotionally sharp and thought-provoking.
