Radium City Movie Review 1987

A disturbing documentary about Ottawa, Illinois, where large chunks of the population have died of radiation-produced cancer, due to the large employment of a clock-making factory that required its mostly female staff to use, with no protection, radium-based paint. The film also emphasizes the bureaucratic snares confronted by the populace when it looked for retribution.
