The true story of the Radium Girls: 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, including radiation poisoning, cancer, and even death, and these women, known as the Radium Girls, would often paint their nails and teeth with the substance, causing them to glow in the dark, literally becoming human glowsticks. Did you know that it took years for the women to realize the connection between their work and their illnesses, and even longer for justice to be served.
