Fondavision: The China Syndrome (1979)

from We Really Like Her! · host Danita Steinberg & Emily Gagne

Tonight on Fondavision (WRLH!'s miniseries dedicated to actor/activist Jane Fonda!), Danita and Emily have a lil' meltdown as they investigate 1979's The China Syndrome. Did this film, produced by and starring Jane, really start the war on nuclear power (a.k.a. "The Jane Fonda Effect"), or is that just another sexist conspiracy theory? How does journalist Kimberly Wells compare to depictions of other women whistleblowers like Karen Silkwood (who Jane wanted to make a film about!) and Erin Brockovich? And what in the hell happened to the humanistic political thriller? This and more at 11!
