Radium Girls Trailer #1 (2020) | Movieclips Indie

Radium was used to make luminous paint for watch and clock dials from around 1920 until the 1960's. There is such a small amount of radium on a watch dial that the danger from radiation is negligible, but if you ingest it, that's a whole nother matter, and that's what this girls were doing by pointing their tiny paint brushes with their lips. A microgram a hundred times a day, 300 days a year adds up, and that's what got the radium girls.
It's not a bad little film, we get a variety of characters and viewpoints. We have a little bit of medicine, business and law. We also have some protestors and some communists, though to be fair I don't think anyone back then knew how communism would turn out.
I am almost certain I saw another film about this same event maybe 10 years ago but I cannot remember the name of it.
