They were told the paint was harmless. They were told they had nothing to fear.

Inspired by the true story of the women who unknowingly worked with radioactive paint in the 1920s, Radium Girls follows a determined young worker who refuses to accept easy answers as her friends fall mysteriously ill. Facing corporate deception, scientific uncertainty, and overwhelming opposition, she embarks on a courageous search for justice that would forever alter the American workplace.

Heartbreaking, uplifting, and ultimately inspiring, Radium Girls is a poignant portrait of hope, resilience, and the enduring strength of those who refuse to be silenced.
