Radium Girls

Golden Globe nominee Joey King (TV's The Act) and Abby Quinn (Little Women) are sisters who become ill while working in a radium factory in the 1920s in this true story drama produced by Lily Tomlin.

"Teenage sisters Bessie (King) and Jo (Quinn) dream of faraway places while they paint glow-in-the-dark watch dials at the American Radium Factory in New Jersey. When Jo becomes ill, a larger, darker truth begins to emerge: She is not the first girl in the radium factory to become unwell. Bessie fights not only for her sister, but also for the rest of the women around her; she becomes a powerful advocate as she risks everything to stand up to the corporation that provides her family's livelihood."
