<p class="NoParagraphStyle">Set in the 1920s, this impactful true account chronicles the strength and courage of female factory workers who hand paint glow-in-the-dark watch faces. When their health declines, proving their employer has poisoned them with radium
becomes a valiant legal battle. Their story of survival is beautifully tragic as they strive to improve conditions for future working women.<o:p></o:p></p>
