Moore tells the forgotten story of the girls who painted radium dials in World War I, who were told that there was no danger in working with radium paint. A chilling example of how far companies have gone in order to preserve profit, even at the expense of the health of their workers.
You fight and you fall and you get up and fight some more. But there will always come a day when you cannot fight another minute more.
