Radium Girls (2018)
9/10
Great little clip of rarely considered history
19 December 2020
I'd seen old catalogue and newspaper ads for radium products from cosmetics of all sorts to watches, elixirs etc. but had given little thought to the plant workers and product testers that made them. Hopefully, some who watch this will take it as a subtle wake up call to look into some of the chemicals (many untested) that are being added to our personal products; shampoo, makeup, even sunscreens etc., and foods. An ice cream that never melts cannot be healthy. We ARE what we eat, drink and put on our bodies. Kudos to the producer here! I found it a bit slow and a bit mild in terms of not truly expressing the extreme mental and physical anguish these women went through - otherwise I'd give it a 10.
