RADIUM GIRLS, a new movie starring Joey King (The Act, The Kissing Booth) and Abby Quinn (Landline, I’m Thinking of Ending Things) is currently available to watch today, from the comfort of your own home. This film, which is not rated, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2018 and is appropriate for children ages 10-16. Here is short description of the film:
Based on true events of the 1920’s, Radium Girls stars Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Joey King (“The Act,”, The Kissing Booth) and Abby Quinn (“I’m Thinking of Ending Thing,” “Landline”) as Bessie and Jo Cavallo. The teen sisters dream of Hollywood and Egyptian pyramids as they paint glow-in-the-dark watch dials at the American Radium factory in New Jersey.
When Jo loses a tooth, Bessie’s world is turned upside down as a mystery slowly unravels. Bessie befriends two young activists and in a radical coming of age, she investigates a corporate scandal. Bessie and the “Radium Girls” file a lawsuit against American Radium. The notorious case ultimately led to a lasting impact in the area of workplace health and safety as well as the study of radioactivity.
