The film is based on the true events that took place at a large scale radium company in the 20th century, called American Radium in the movie. The female factory workers contract radiation poisoning from the glow in the dark paint they use (which contains radium) on the watches they assisted in manufacturing.

King plays Bessie, a soul determined to bring an end to the radium company, because of the said illnesses. Her and a group of others band together to get the justice they deserve and show what it truly means to fight for what’s right.

As always, you can set up the option to receive a notification right when the movie comes out on Fandango.
