RADIOACTIVE: The Women of Three Mile Island is a feature documentary about the 1979 Three Mile Island meltdown–the worst commercial nuclear accident in U.S. history. RADIOACTIVE covers the never-before-told stories of four intrepid homemakers-turned-activists, two women lawyers who took the local community’s case all the way to the Supreme Court, and a young female journalist who was caught in the radioactive crossfire.

About the Producer, Writer, Director:
Professor of Environmental Humanities, at Stony Brook University, Heidi Hutner has been following the stories of nuclear disasters and impacted communities for a lifetime. An eco-feminist whose mother demonstrated against above-ground nuclear bomb testing in the 1960s with Women Strike For Peace, Hutner is deeply familiar with and concerned about how misinformed the public has been about the dangers of nuclear technology and ionizing radiation exposures, and in particular, radiation’s disproportionate harm to women and children, and to communities of color (environmental racism).

On March 28th, 2018, at a commemorative protest for the Three Mile Island meltdown that took place on March 28th,1979, Hutner met with a group of activist women, Paula, Beth, Linda, and Joyce – “Concerned Mothers and Women” – mothers who were impacted by the nuclear disaster. Hutner learned of the cover-ups and criminal actions that took place at the nuclear power plant (before, during, and after the meltdown) and was inspired to make this compelling film.

Dan Reynolds, lead singer of the multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning band, Imagine Dragons, has earned legions of fans worldwide with sold-out tours and a string of chart-topping songs including “Radioactive” and “Thunder.”

While the band dominates the charts, Dan has been living with ankylosing spondylitis (AS)—a painful disease that most people probably aren’t familiar with—for more than a decade. Dan was diagnosed with AS in his early 20s, and three of his brothers also have AS.

Dan continues his efforts to make a difference in the lives of others by supporting several causes, including his work as an advocate for the AS community. Recently, Reynolds has been working with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation to launch Monster Pain in the AS, a national campaign to raise awareness of unexplained back pain that may be AS.

For Dan, unexplained back pain is personal. After years of living with intense and unexplained back pain, Dan finally found the right doctor, a rheumatologist, who helped him find answers and a treatment plan that worked for him. He says this was “the greatest feeling in the world.”

This is why Dan is speaking publicly about his AS, in hopes of encouraging others living with persistent, unexplained back pain to seek diagnosis and care. Some 2.7 million people in the United States are thought to have AS and related conditions.1 But because it’s underdiagnosed, the numbers may be even higher.

Reynolds talks about his journey, the challenges living with unexplained back pain that may be AS, and how to find help. Reynolds will be joined by rheumatologist [Dr. Hillary Norton, who also has AS,] to share the signs and symptoms, her unique perspective on the disease, and the importance of getting a correct diagnosis.
