This chilling films uses recently declassified government film footage to re-create the true story of America`s first nuclear accident, which took place in Idaho in 1961. The previously suppressed material indicates that the disaster may have been caused by the suicidal impulse of an individual technician. Filmed in a stark and formally challenging visual style, SL-1 explores the consequences of nuclear radiation while raising serious questions about human fallibility. "A powerful and poignant blend of journalism and drama, SL-1 is compelling viewing."
-- WEEKLY VARIETY "...cuts through any complacency that might still be hidden in the mind of the viewer. Recommended viewing for anyone still foolish enough to believe that we can survive a nuclear war."
