37 years...

Do you know the story of Karen Silkwood?

Today is the 37th anniversary of her passing.  Since the time when I was a young child first watching the film Silkwood, I have over and over again been captivated by Karen's story. Her's is a story of strength-of-character, of bravery, and determination to do the right thing...in spite of opposing greed and corruption. Karen has left us all with an amazing story to reflect upon -- to be inspired by, and hopefully learn from.

Below is a wonderful (5-part) documentary that adds even more to what was depicted in the 1983 movie.

 

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on and reading The Killing of Karen Silkwood -- it has received such good reviews, some of which state that this book fills in a lot of the information that the movie simply did not cover.

My heart goes out to Karen's family today  ♥

Netflix App is HERE!

We don't watch much TV, especially in warmer months...but an app I have been waiting for is now available on the iTunes app store -- The Official Netflix App! Watch Netflix instant streaming video on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

Here's an article from Mashable about the release of this new app (which contains link to the Netflix app on the iTunes store). This app is free, but instant streaming of Netflix movies requires a Netflix subscription.

Check out King Corn, the movie (available on Netflix instant viewing) -- great documentary on the reality of food production today.

Our kids are obviously still not quite awake and ready to embrace the excitement of Netflix movies on mommy's iPod ;-)
