The true story of women who worked painting watch dials with glowing radium paint at the Radium Dial Company in the 1920s and 30s, unaware of its deadly consequences.
This deeply moving drama follows the journey of four courageous women as they fight for justice after discovering that their work has poisoned them. These Shining Lives is not just a story of corporate negligence, but of resilience, friendship, and the strength of the human spirit, as the women band together to take on their employer in a landmark legal battle that changes American labour laws forever.
