One of the worst things about this story is that for most of the girls who died, US Radium bribed coroners to list the cause of death as syphilis to ruin their reputations and credibility
That’s so evil
thats so awful :(
WOW
I knew quite a bit about this story but didn’t know this..This is horrible...poor girls
Smh
I got an ad that said “do you want skin that lights up the room?” bad. timing.
LMAOOO
Disturbing 🤔
woah. damn...
That is dark as hell
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
One of the girls literally testified from her deathbed
Yea
Yea
Yea. that was Catherine Donahue
Sorry but what does it mean? Testified her deathbed? I’m not English sorry
Lyra Jane testifying on the deathbed means that she was literally dying or close to death as she gave her testimony. In her case the entire court actually went to her house so that she could give her testimony. She died like 2 months later. She was an incredible woman.
My biggest problem is the "Radium is good for you, Everyone knows that" not only were they oblivious to the facts, they were told lies about it
Everyone was misinformed about radium and then lied to once the dangers started to come to light. It was in chocolate, toothpaste, toys, nightlights, enemas, ED meds, cosmetics and more.
@@coppersandsprite they were even putting it in the water...and the girls were putting it on their hair and skin because they thought it was healing.
@@boynek.4216 They also did it because they thought it made them more attractive when they went out on dates, their hair would glow and it made them interesting and got lots of attention.
Just like tape worms, cigarettes, trans fat, most every artificial sweetener, vaping, fad diets, thc, pain killers etc etc etc. Sheep get sheared.
Even in the fifties and sixties people were misinformed. It played a role in my grandpa's death.
Oh God, every time they lick that brush feels like a stab
Licking of the paintbrushes decades after this caused my grandpa's death :( it should have been banned
@@MsBhappy Really?
@@carlycrays2831 he had a lifelong hobby of painting clocks. He developed a very rare type of thyroid cancer associated with radiation exposure. Thankfully, he still lived a decently long life. Still, I can't help but think I'd have had longer with him if he hadn't done so. I only knew him less than a decade of my life. I'm sure he had a few paint cans in use after it was banned in the sixties. I also think he knew the dangers but for some reason didn't think it would affect him for doing it once a week or so not every day like the radium girls.
I know! Watching them lick their brush unknowingly of how toxic it was, just made me feel so uncomfortable. Licking those brushes was mostly more harmful than getting stabbed in a limb. This one woman's whole jaw fell off because of this company. It's so disturbing.
Same, even if it hadn’t been radium a lot of other paints were highly toxic without it being well known containing things like cadmium and lead.
Important story. A company that knew its products were toxic and knowingly poisoned women and girls. And similar stories still happening with toxic chemicals dumped in water and present in building materials and personal are products!
Search Dupont and PFOA.
Flint Michigan knows all about it
Nothing has changed now its vaccines
Teena Paul what does this have to do with vaccines?!
Teena Paul What?! No vaccines are credible and safe
To this day their remaining bones are radioactive. The Radium Girls were featured in the documentary The Poisoner's Handbook.
That’s a great book. Highly recommended
They also would literally glow, like glow in the dark. The Radium Girls were walking glow sticks. Radium was like Botox and fillers back then. All the rich people used radium in their beauty treatments. Some would have their teeth painted with radium so their smile would be brighter. It’s insane to even think about that today.
Yes. They have to be buried in triple lead-lined coffins, & many were taken Out to for the lead coffins to be put inside lead vaults before re-burying them again as an extra measure, decades ago.
@@itskindyl Bullshit.
@@actuallyNo... Bullshit.
"Radium is good for you, Everyone knows that" makes me wonder what we are absolutely oblivious to in this time. scaryyyyyyy man
It's what they were told. That's what money minded bizmen do.b
Vaccines
It's makes me wonder what are we oblivious about now and will be discovered in a 100 years
In 100 years they will look back on all the plastic feed that goes into cows and antibiotics used for chicken farms, BPA from water bottles, preservatives to make food last longer, it will be looked at as mercury and the future people will wonder why would we feed our people this
@@salinakhan-razzaq9614 ugh
Knowing what happened to these young women angers me so much. Makes me also think of what kind of things are we exposing ourselves to currently that we’ll later find out are fatal?!?!
Sequoyah Hilderbrand wi-fi
Jaime-lee Towndrow :: 5G! No doubt!
non-stick skillets.
@@shilde There is no evidence for that. For radium, there was evidence, but it was corruption that was stopping the law from working. Same with tobacco in USA. It was a known carcinogen. Some food dyes, again remain in use in USA, and are banned elsewhere.
You're looking into conspiracy bullshit and you obviously know nothing about radiowaves, yet you ignore the known stuff.
@@lajoswinkler Non ionising radiation is still dangerous- oxidative stress has been proven. Tobacco was also sold as healthful.
This is the lawsuit that led to the creation of OSHA.

Gold movie clip
Wow
Amazing
Eddie Brock oh wow 😯 that’s interesting. Such a sad story never knew about this.
The sad part about all this is when Grace Fryer and the others first started going to court they weren't taken seriously until the first male worker died
Fact: The first girl to die from radium poisoning was so afflicted, the doctor lifted her jaw right out of her face.
@@hearts444nyyyy and i heard one died rotting alive and she saw her jaw fall off idk if its true i just heard it on a channel talking about it
@@mjoyg5445 this would never have happened if the doctors at the time didnt have such low morals. They were all bribed to make false diagnoses. Mfs literally let a 112 people die while pretending they were saving lives.
@@gjeraldh2989 could be still happening with us having to take the vaccines or else.
If I'm not mistaken, the young lady's name was Amelia Mollie Maggia.
@@johnknee1537 all the cell phones!
Joey King really impresses me. I know she’s been in a hundred Netflix teen rom coms and a few Disney channel shows in her younger years, but between this and The Act, she’s also making it clear that she’s intent on doing serious movies with complex, fascinating characters.
Lauren Conrad name more than like 5 teen rom coms she’s in
Honestly good for her for breaking out of her disney shell by taking on challenging roles rather than taking on scandals
very talented girl!
She’s only in two Netflix Rom coms and one of which hasn’t even came out yet
She reminds me of the actress in The Craft, who played Nancy. XD
I remember doing a presentation about the effects of radiation on humans and the environment in ninth grade and these women were a central part of it, but nobody including my teacher ever heard of them. It’s important to have a movie like this to make their story well known.
Nope Never the only thing there taught in is medical studies for radiation poisoning and it’s effects
I literally just heard about the Radium girls 5 days ago and finished reading the book today, it's really saddening how their lives are labeled as "the forgotten story of radium girls"
Really? I heard about it briefly at some museum or something when I was like 6. But obviously I can’t remember it that well since I was 6 and didn’t understand it 😅
I just found out, I wasn’t even looking them up. Eben byers jaw was what I came for and this trailer just introduced me
Raduin is the environment in which we live in, it's not man made.
The dial workers used to paint themselves with the luminescent paint for fun, and before leaving work on Friday evenings they would sprinkle the luminous powder on their dresses so when they attended the parties that night they would literally be glowing and would be the envy of the rest of the females in attendance. Crazy! The book was amazing, I heard about it on a podcast and flew through it in a couple days, I’m sure this movie or series will be great too.
I did an 8 page paper on the history of toxicology and when I say that the radium girls story shook me to the bottom of my high school core..... I cant express how excited and happy I am to see this story finally getting a proper telling on the big screen. I want to cry for some reason
Hope you got an A+ on that paper!!!!
lol i just heard about this. the details literally made me nauseous
you did an 8 page paper on toxicology as a high schooler??
Is Joey king ever going to be able to grow all of her hair back out without getting another job that keeps it short
Eryn Noli it looks like a she’s wearing a wig in this one though lol
Seriously? She could always wear extensions or a wig.
Why assume it's her real hair that she chopped, nobody has time for that cause it takes months to grow back to certain lengths
@@Ebunoluwa13 wdym? She literally shaved her head for a role in The Act
My fave hairstyle is short on her. Maybe she likes it. Shes empowering
These girls wore the radium when they went out to dance. So horrible that they weren't told of the dangers.
Ol lkkjjhhqmkkk(9poo9 in ikimizde hgfffy
Fun fact American Radium never admitted fault. Simply just a payout.
They never paid the payout either :/
I was just in a stage production of Radium Girls and it was probably one of the most difficult shows I have ever been in. Capturing these poor girls suffering. This story is truly so moving and disturbing. I highly recommend looking into it.
Im abt to be in one! I play Kathryn!!
@@Acorn_loversame!!
My father worked for US Radium from age of 20's- 70's and I have and many other class mates who parents worked of lived by the plant and have autoimmune disease. The plant is now EPA clean up. About damn time a movie was made!
They dont care about the after effects or the health issues... everything is about money and power... i myself have autoimmune disease and other health issues too. most of it probably because of vaccinations but other health issues many people have is also because of other chemically induced products and food (water) we get these days.
@@xkatjejonise5735 problemas por causa de vacinas???? Aí é demais.
@@pampamela9885 it's true. Vaccines have a lot of side effects.. especially the modern ones
The way the women were getting poisoned was from putting their paint brushes back in their mouths after they had put it into the paint. Just in case if anyone was confused on how they were getting poisoned. I had to look it up because I didn’t know.
Also, they were painting their nails with it and adding it to their cosmetics for the glowy effect.
Ya. They had to keep the brush to a point. Precision!! The letters had to be absolutely perfect like they were printed on. You needed to have the brush at a point to do that.
Nikkie thank you! I didn’t know that. (:
And they wore dance clothes to work, that way the glow would be in her dresses too and they would look beautiful dancing with their lovers. Some says that the brushes in their mouths was a rule inside the company in order to prevent the waste of radium for using water in a glass lo clean it.
Angel Villamiles Yea I read that somewhere too
isn't it so telling that so many of us here have only found out about this story now? super happy they are showing women's history for once!
I'm really looking forward to watch this movie. The discovery of Radium by Marie Curie was such an important fact in History and its use in radiotherapy to cure tumors is revolutionary, but as anything that involves radiation, it has to be managed with care. We can't even blame society in general because only scientists and very few people understood the bad effects of Radium and this type of information wasn't widely spread back then. Most bad things were sadly discovered through tragedies like this one and as sad as it is, we owe these girls a lot for showing what radiation can do to our bodies.
Companies today are still putting their workers in danger and swearing everything is fine. Human decency has never existed... not when there’s a profit to be made....
@Sam Lutfi Tell that to Big pharma and the Thalidomide cases
@Sam Lutfi not true at all. There isn't enough regulation. Look at Amazon for example. SO many of their workers are trying to speak up about poor working conditions and blatant danger and are being silenced.
@@sarahturner4148 really
Like with Beryllium, which is both a carcinogen and a mutagen. The research whether sarcoidosis is related to working with Beryllium is still ongoing....
That’s corporate America for ya
Here is a Lesson for everyone, never trust any company, corporation, or any business compeltely, they get revenues not because they do honest work. They will cut as much corners as they could. Always support anyone speaking out against any corporation, because they're always the ones ended up being in the right side of history, while companies are the bad guy, as history has revealed.
@Nick Smith Clearly someone romanticized Captialism.
@Claire this only proves that we need to fix our justice system so that corporations have more to lose and are forced to be accountable, not that the idea that becoming successful enough to train others your craft, expand, and increase profit is bad. We shouldn't take it down from the ground up, we'd only affect the medium sized businesses that are already vulnerable to jeff bezos. Gotta go top down, bring the court to our side.
k... ALWAYS is a stupid thing to say, there is very rarely ever an ALWAYS... therefore business men are not ALWAYS wrong, and consequently ppl who attack them are not ALWAYS right
@Nick Smith he is righ though. In 90% of case because ok it's not all bad. But he is right. No one is looking out for us and least of all companies.
The lack of unionization, large numbers of desperate people, and loose safety regulations are why factories have moved to the South. It is the next best thing to the Third World and we have the injuries and deaths to prove it.
They performed this play at my granddaughter’s school this last fall. She played Grace Fryer and it was intense, sad and awesome all at the same time. Can’t wait for the movie just hope they it do it justice. The book is an absolute must read naturally it goes into more detail than what they can put in a movie. These GIRLS and that’s what the were, some as young as 14 suffered horrendously with this poisoning before they died, and it was for the most part a slow agonizing death.
God, I recognized the term “Radium Girls” and knew which way the trailer was headed despite the cheerful
beginning. The story is just a horrible thing to have heard of, but I’m glad that it will be brought back into the eyes of the public.
We need more movies like these. Real heroes not the comic book type.
Or we can just have the best of both worlds and enjoy what genre we like
We can have both you know
What's wrong with those comic book heroes? They're fun, and we can have these at the same time
Comic superheroes were created to inspire real life heroes during dark times.
Why not both?
Omg the real is story is heartbreaking. I didn’t know they’re gonna do a movie about it. Joey King is fantastic I’m glad to see her star in it
marvel096 do they win at the end? Or everything gets cover up?
This was a play first.
Nicole Moncion some of them won but others didn’t. The sad thing is that the trials took so long that the radiation killed many of them before the could even get a penny for all the damages 😞
@@marvel096 and yet somehow their deaths weren't proof of the case the radium girls were fighting right? The public can be so stupid sometimes
Ebunoluwa13 American Radium bribed coroners to write off many of their deaths as being caused by syphilis to ruin the reputation and credibility.
i’ve been in a production of a play called radium girls. i played the role of grace fryer. this story deserves to be told and i am so glad it’s being brought back.
I was in my school’s production of radium girls - an incredible, heartbreaking story. Very cool to see this bit of history being adapted into a film
So many cover ups, so much "research" that is biased. Money talks.
ThisisJohanna: No one may stop such corruption unless we, who consider it unethical, embittering, destructive, demoralizing, stop. it.
That's what capitalism always does-- oil companies have known for several decades that burning fossil fuels would devastate the planet, so they bought more politicians and bought pundits to tell us to vote for those politicians.
@@shadetreader It's what centralisation does. To much responsibility in the hand of two few, capitalism just acts as a lubricant for an outdated system.

The 'Golden Globe Nominee: Joey King' gives me so much joy because she has come so far!
shes great isnt she, i first watche her in the act which is a great watch
I just finished reading "The Radium Girls" book not knowing there was a new movie depicting their story. I hope this is more graphic than the trailer is showing. The book details more than I just watched. Those girls really suffered.
PLEASE RELEASE THIS ALREADY!!! So intriguing , I’ve read everything there is about the subject , books articles even from the time period, every video on RUclips. I need more!! Lol
I read the story of these brave women and their horrific injuries which lead to death in many cases. Their struggle for recognition and compensation was long and hard. We have indeed not learnt anything in 100 years, money still talks louder than human rights. Glad their story will come to a wider audience and will inspire anyone who is being bullied, harrassed or mistreated at work.
I literally found out about the Radium Girls just a few weeks ago and now I find out that they made a movie about them
Was it from the podcast my favourite murder?!?! 😆
@@ms42662 No, a RUclips channel Joe Scott
@@ms42662 I heard about it in school and didn't really pay any mind until I heard it again on MFM. I was appalled and started reading up on it on my own...its heartbreaking!! Especially knowing that the company bribed coroners to put down syphilis as the cause of death...makes me so mad!!
The book is horrifying and excellently written
I literally just found out about it right now, was watching a video on them when this popped up in the recommendations xD
The Geiger counter went nuts when it was taken to a cemetery where a lot of the radium girls were buried. Some of them had to be buried in lead lined coffins.
When she said radium is good for you it sent a chill down my spine
This is going to be a heartbreaking movie. Bring xtra tissues.
Agreed, I teared up just watching the trailer knowing the story of the radium girls
The movie couldn't possibly be as horrific as their actual stories.
@@BeanieScooter I beg to differ. Seeing the pain and suffering of those poor girls and those that loved them. The story made me weep, seeing it would have me sobbing.
@@thelaughingtiger146 Actors portraying the actual women, though. I'm sure the movie will make me cry, as did the book.
@@BeanieScooter 🌝
Was wondering when their sad tale would be made into a movie. The radium decimated their bodies.
If this movie interests you, you should also check out the movie Dark Waters or documentary The Devil We Know. Both are about the chemical company Dupont and how they knowingly poisoned the world population
You know where is available?
@@EmyN the documentary is on Netflix. The movie I don't believe has arrived on any streaming service
@Emily Norris it’s available to rent on amazon prime!
omg, but they actually still are :O
I literally just finished reading the book Radium Girls.... And I don't know, this trailer is bugging me. Granted I read the first part several months ago and finished it after a hiatus just this last week... But the movie seems to be lacking something.
Like what happened to those women was terrifically horrifying and gruesome. Everyone in this looks too pretty... Even the ones who are supposed to be dissolving from the inside out from radiation poisoning. And the whole one voice crying out against the big company seems to be played up with raids and corporate intimidation. And I get that because of cinema. But it just bothers me that they feel the need to do this when the reality is fascinating enough. The lying, blocking, delaying, and withholding of the radium companies is fascinating and angering enough. Trust me, if you read the book, you'd probably agree that it doesn't need the 'cinematic push' to make the bad guys more cartoonishly evil. They were doing it all on their own.
I guess I'm taking the long route to say that this movie seems to be more style over substance, when the reality of what actually happened is so much more interesting than what this film seems to offer... But hey, it's not out yet, so I'll hold back on fully judging it until I actually see it.
They can't have certain images in trailers without marketing it as a red branded trailer, hopefully they do show the full extent of what those poor girls went through.
Well said!
Never trust a Hollywood “true story”
@Alita Hargrove it's The Radium Girls by Kate Moore !!! I hope you enjoy it. It's a horrifyingly interesting read
White Wood Asmr agreed!
White Wood Asmr i absolutely agree, finished the audio book read by the author. It’s such a horrific story it indeed does note need any lines to the actual history.
Years ago,
I heard a story about the "raduim girls"
per the show "Antiques Roadshow",
when someone took one of those
antique radium watches to be evaluated.
From what i can recall,
one of them told a story about one
of the girls, who was going about her
usual workday, when she pushed both
of her legs on the stool's foot rest to
adjust her sitting, both of her legs
below her knees snapped in two.
Such an AWFUL story.
I'm glad their stories are being told
through this compelling new film.
I’m so glad this is getting released! It was actually made in 2018 and did small film festival circuits and then seemed to just completely fade into obscurity. I thought I was never gonna get to watch it so you can imagine my excitement when this video was in my recommendeds
Anna Hill do you have any idea when the actual release date is?
"Radium products were used for any ailment where lack of energy was seen to be the root cause -- from common fatigue to impotence,"
Far from being a panacea, radium was deadly! It was a slow killer!
When ingested, radium is particularly dangerous: Chemically, it behaves very much like calcium, Since the body uses calcium to make bone, ingested radium is mistaken for calcium and gets incorporated into bone. So the major health risk of ingesting radium is radiation-induced bone necrosis and bone cancers. How soon they develop depends upon the dose, but at the very high doses that the Radium Girls were exposed to it only took a few years.
Moral of the story;Never trust the Government without doing your own research first!
Doing your own research? lol
Suppose, everyone should keep a couple dozen lab rats and replicate work conditions for, let's say, 5 years, before they would accept a job, which they very much need to be able to sustain themselves - and now their lab rats. Same thing with new food items, shampoos, cleaning products, electronic devices, building materials...etc
Yes, you can google stuff now. No, that's not 'doing your own research'. At the end of the day, you will have to place your trust in someone/something.
More like never trust greedy, unchecked corporations. At least the government responded by instating protections and regulatory agencies.
Like corona?
Netflix is upping their game and I'm here for it. Hell yes, we do need more films like these.
This is adapted from a theatrical play by D.W. Gregory, published in 2000. I saw it at Boston University in 2011 when my theater department did a production of it in the South End. It was heartbreaking then, I'm sure it will be heartbreaking now.
I once watched a documentary about young people in today's China who work in tech device assembly dying from dangerous substances used to clean the electronic parts. This reminds me a lot of that story. So it's still happening.
what would be the name of that documentary
I really hope this movie sheds the light on our past and does the history of this heartbreaking time justice. The trailer alone looks amazing so I hope it lives up to my expectations. And I’m grateful producers are finally shedding more light on this. May those beautiful souls who suffered from radium have peace 💕
For everyone who is asking when is the movie coming out, this movie was supposed to come out in April 2020 but it is delayed because of the quarantine. It should be out once the quarantine is over.
I was in this play in high school for our One Act competition and we won state 😇 it’s such a sad, tragic story tho :/
Mary Valentyne: “Sad, tragic” stories must be told, told well, understood with great respect and care.
I am a survivor of the Dalkon Shield who was so sick by the time the class action lawsuit happened that I couldn’t participate or ask anyone to advocate for me.
Victimization for commercial purposes must become stigmatized globally.

A lady person just commented seeing a play and I’m pretty sure it was the one you did! Small world
@@selenac3966 I did the play too and it was boring as hell lmao. Great story, truly heartbreaking. Also not the best play for high schoolers to be taking on.
I did this for One Act Play my senior year in high school too! The play was called “These Shining Lives”.
i read a story based on this some years back with photos of the girls while they were sick in it. it was horrifying.
Whats the book?
@@phineasnigellus7394 i think it was the radium girls by kate moore.
It’s also a play. My high school did a performance of it and it made me cry.
@@itskindyl what i'm saying is it's based off of a true story. i know that folks probably do stuff off of it but just saying i read the book about it. life was way harder back then.
@@elisejackson2854 ok thanks found it
what sucks is that after girls started dying, it was around the same time as The Great Depression so people were too scared to quit their jobs, and other people didn’t care that people were dying as long as they had jobs..
I live 35 miles east of Ottawa Illinois where this story happened. The torn down school which was converted into the Radium Dial Company in 1917 and was dismantled in the 80's and dumped at another site in Ottawa to avoid the cost of proper radioactive material disposal. Still to this day, there are posted "High Radiation" warning signs on the fenced in area where the debris was buried.

I staged managed this play in college. It’s heartbreaking and needs to be told. I’m glad this is coming out.
Stage manager high-five!
Stage Managers are incredible. Thank you!!!
I did this play in high school my senior year. Every other play we'd put on was a comedy. During the production of this play, I felt heavier, seeing the story night after night (I did sound, so I watched the whole thing every time).
I am so glad the story is being told. Thank you. I have been there, talked to families and a survivor. Long ago. Thank you.
The effects were so much more gruesome than they're showing. In the preview. The book spares no detail on how Radium killed them painfully and slowly.
God I remember seeing a One Act Play based on this story, and Holy damn. They won first place, the story and acting was beautiful.
wow a girl just mentioned she was in the play and won state, her name in the comments is Mary Valentyne
see if you can find it
check out Mary Valentyne's comment she was in the play
I used to live in Ottawa, IL, one of the other cities with an American Radium plant. There were graves in the cemetery where workers were interred and spots on some of the sports fields where debris had been buried where snow wouldn't stick in the winters. It eventually got declared a Superfund site and cleaned up.
I love how joey takes up challenging roles ❤
FINALLY their story is being told... one of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve ever learned about
I read the book. Tragic. And horrifying. My grandmother told me about these women years and years ago. She was always so glad she never worked there. I'm glad too.
Corporations are still doing this in 2020, see Dupont Chemical- Democracy Now.
K L and animal products and more
See the flouride being pumped into our drinking water.
@@Cassxowary animal products arent bad for humans.
Jasper Ghostly oh, they are! Look it up! Not just the faecal matter, cancer, other diseases and pathogens, noxious drugs and chemicals, and worse, but also the hurt and other unhappiness, you take in, as well as being responsible for rapes, druggings, abuse, torture, agony, suffering, horrific slaughter in front of their loved ones, and destruction of all. Animal products are bad for all, and that’s just an increasingly undeniable fact.
Moon Jar it’s called living and eating healthy and building up your immune system, and healing things the right ways (:
Joey King was amazing in The Act. Hopefully we'll get to see her portray more complex characters in thought provoking films like this one.
i was about to say the same as well, she was great in the act, such a good watch
This film has my heart ❤.. The actors and this story.... And the heartbreak and the way they portrayed the impact of the issue 🙏
I read the book about them back in high school, I'm so glad they're making it into a movie. It's such an important part of history.
Joey king is working hard for that Oscar . 👏🏼
And when and if she does take the Oscar, and RUclips has the clip of her so taking, it'll be downloaded and put on a disc so I can relive it any time I want.
I wanted to cry during this trailer. Heart breaking. Truly heart breaking what these girls went through.
I saw a great old documentary about this when I was a teenager and it stuck with me for 30 plus years (used to have a link for it on RUclips, but they removed it.. probably because of this movie). I think it is a story every person entering the workforce should know. Such a tragic story. Glad to see it is gaining attention once again via this movie and plays, etc..
I’M SO GLAD THERES FINALLY A MOVIE ABOUT THIS
I remember doing this play in high school and always thought it should be a movie! So glad to see it’s finally a movie, especially with Joey King 😃
Joey is great in the act as well
Read up on how one of the first girls affected had a mouth abscess so bad her dentist merely PRODDED at her jaw and it broke.
It only took fingers to completely remove her lower jaw.
YES! I was waiting for a movie about this! I saw the stage production a couple years back at a theater festival and ever since then I was very interested in the story. Very compelling and sad story for the girls who were involved.
Joey has the perfect look for the period! I can't wait to see this.
This was such a beautiful book and lesson in history and I cannot wait to see it brought back to life to illuminate the atrocities that occurred!!!
Something else this Movie ignores is that the factories in the cities were also very radioactive. The buildings were radioactive. They still are to this day. The sites these building stood on or still radioactive today. In one town in Illinois When the factory closed the radio active building while he does the meatpacking factory, then as a farmers market. When it was destroyed, the radioactive building material was used as fill all over the city. There are still spots in the town that are radioactive because nobody ever really took care of it.
And there’s more. To this day the grace of these women who are buried 6 feet underground can still set off geiger counters because they are still that radioactive.
I grew up in Ottawa, IL, the other location of the Radium Dial company. SO many stories from the elderly community when we were little about the young women they knew who got sick, how the dust on their clothes and skin “glowed,” how they were nicknamed “ghost girls.” Although the radium dumping spots were supposedly cleaned up years ago, there are many examples of certain streets in town where a number of residents got similar cancers. Still feels very likely to me that the repercussions live on in Ottawa and Orange...at least these brave girls (and their families, generations later) are continuing to have their story told in impactful ways. I look forward to seeing it - the book was so well done.
Are certain areas marked dangerous or radiation in Ottawa?
heard about this story on My Favorite Murder a while ago - so glad they are making a movie about it! This story deserves to be told!

What was the name for the podcast episode?

“This podcast will kill you” did an episode on them too!
So I just recently did a production of the play "Radium Girls" at my local high school. And I have to say this story is amazing. The way the company leaders and men delayed trials, doctored information, covered up reports and purposely let these girls die to keep their reputation is appalling. And they basically got away with it too. Heres another fact as well. After the final trial, a settlement was reached and the company walked away still mostly intact. However they still had many, many radioactive tailings leftover on the factory grounds. Together, the new President of the U.S. Radium, and his lawyer decided to sell the tailings to use as ground foundation in a residential area in NJ. Because of this, the people living in that area started dying and getting lung problems from living there. It wasn't discovered that the company purposely placed those tailings there until the 60s 70s and 80s. It's a sad truth to know they definetly got away with some things.
I saw the play first, too! I liked the script for Radium Girls a lot more than These Shining Lives, but either way it's still an awesome show and a tragic story
I read this book for my history class last year. Such a good read, can’t wait to watch this.
Just by title alone I know EXACTLY what this movie is about and I AM HERE FOR IT!!!!!
The judge of the case also held stock in ... American Radium
Oh god I can’t even finish this trailer knowing what happened, some serious body horror
I'm glad they're doing a movie on this!
Whewww boy, this is one of the topics I'm most obsessed with. I did a whole multi-page essay based on the Radium Girls for National History Day assignment. I read the majority of a book under the same name, it's fantastic. Might try to get it a library again and give it a re-read.
"Radium is good for you, everyone knows that" - Then.
"Fluoride is good for you, everyone knows that" - Now.
@Kissa Deff There's that too. Also they want to add Lithium waste to the water next.
And aromatic hydrocarbons. VOCs. Synthetic fragrance compounds. Benzene. Formaldehyde. Synthetic flavors and color additives. You know, the stuff in household items like building materials, paints, finishes, textiles, cleaners, personal 'care' items, processed food. Just normal, everyday stuff. You're crazy if you think the chronic illness epidemic has anything to do with that.
Exactly. I can't believe how many people believe fluoride is good for your teeth and completely safe. I buy fluoride-free toothpaste and see dentists who know how dangerous fluoride is and therefore avoid using it in their practices.
So what should we use? For tooth paste?
Joey king always picks interesting projects!
The book was amazing, with every chapter you see the loss of grip the corporations start to have as the workers unite and stand up. At first it seems hopeless, until it doesn’t. Great book!
I was in this play in my local theater. I played Grace and it was heart wrenching. It’s an amazing story.
Love the finger waves
It looks like in the scene where Joe is in the bath that that’s when her tooth came out. You can see the tooth on the rim of the tub, and that she has blood leaking from her mouth. God this is going to be so difficult to watch, especially because we see them putting the radium in their mouth and they don’t know it will kill them. I really want to see it though. The girls and women deserve to have their story told. We owe so much to them.
Joey king is such an incredible actor. I remember watching her in Ramona and beezus when I was a kid and I loved her back then. Still love her now lol
and she did the act as well which is a great watch
My school did a play on this last year and it was so sad. I’m glad they’re making a film on this story.
To prevent infection and to slow transmission of COVID-19, do the following:
1- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or clean them with alcohol-based hand rub.
2- Maintain at least 1 metre distance between you and people coughing or sneezing.
3- Avoid touching your face.
4- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
5- Stay home if you feel unwell.
6- Refrain from smoking and other activities that weaken the lungs.
7- Practice physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary travel and staying away from large groups of people.
Next do the triangle shirtwaist factory fire.
YES, GOOD CALL AS THAT WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO THIS STORY IN MANY WAYS SADLY. THE MEN LOCKED THE WOMEN UP IN THE BUILDING DURING THE WORKDAY FFS.
@@dr3754 And I think Joey King would be just as good in a film about that as she seems to be here with this Radium Girls film as Bessie Cavallo.
this story has a movie, finally! looking forward to watch this one.
I read the book. It was heartbresking, i was in tears. Everyone should see this.
