These Shining Lives

By Melanie Marnich; Directed by Cindy Schneider

 

These Shining Lives tells the powerful and poignant true story of four women who worked at the Radium Dial Company in the 1920s, painting clock faces with radium-laced paint, unaware of the deadly effects of radiation. As their health deteriorates, the women begin a courageous fight for justice, battling both corporate greed and a society that dismisses their voices. This emotional drama highlights the strength and resilience of women in the face of adversity, shedding light on an important chapter in American labor history. These Shining Lives is a tribute to the unsung heroes who risked everything for change.
