Based on the true story of the "Radium Girls" — young women in the 1920s who painted watch dials with radium-laced paint at the U.S. Radium Corporation.
Our Review
The Radium Girls case is a direct ancestor of the asbestos litigation story. A company that knew its product was killing workers, told them it was safe, and then covered up the evidence. The legal precedents set by the Radium Girls directly affect mesothelioma litigation today.
