Radium Girls

“A worthy entry in the category of workers’ rights movies, Radium Girls, like Silkwood, is based on actual events. Directors Lydia Dean Pilcher and Ginny Mohler reveal a little-known part of history with a loudly beating feminist heart and a narrative grounded in reality.” Kristen Yoonsoo Kim, New York Times.

In the 1920s, a group of factory workers advocate for safer work conditions after some of their colleagues become ill from radium exposure.
