The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of the Women Who Glowed in the Dark.
Script
Did you know that in the early 20th century, hundreds of women were employed to paint watch faces with glow-in-the-dark paint containing radium, which led to severe health issues and even death? These women, known as the Radium Girls, were instructed to moisten their brushes with their tongues, ingesting small amounts of radium daily, causing radiation poisoning, disfigurement, and cancer. Their glowing bodies, literally lit up in the dark, were a gruesome testament to the toxic chemicals they worked with. Talk about a glow-up gone wrong! What's the most shocking work-related hazard you've ever heard of?
