Radium Girls Directors Lydia Dean Pilcher and Ginny Mohler
Radium Girls, co-directed by Lydia Dean Pilcher and Ginny Mohler and starring Joey King, is based on the true story of a group of young female factory workers in the 1920s who worked with radium — which was seen at the time as an almost miraculous element.
But the women soon began developing mysterious, terrible illnesses.
After a medical mystery — that included a misdiagnosis of syphilis for some of the victims — the women banded together to fight for their health, safety and rights.
