The Film
Jim is sick of going to funerals. Roger has regular surgeries to keep him alive. Sandy still struggles to pay the bills twenty years after her husband died. Their town is sick, and they want justice.
In a factory town both sustained and poisoned by big industry, a growing group of widows, workers and family members fight for justice in a system stacked against injured workers. Town of Widows follows former General Electric workers and their widows in the "Electric City" of Peterborough, Ontario: a billion-dollar multinational, an insurance system, a humble working-class town, a rash of cancers, and a movement of people who want to know why their loved ones, coworkers and neighbours died.
