 Frequent On Film contributor, Felipa Solis, joined in this week to review and discuss two streaming selections: Radioactive starring Rosamund Pike and Ron Howard’s new documentary, Rebuilding Paradise. Radioactive is a bio-pic of the life and scientific discoveries of Marie Curie. Despite her uphill battles fighting sexism within the early 1900s scientific field, Radioactive explores her successes as she revolutionized the scientific world and won two Nobel Prizes. Rebuilding Paradise is a human-interest documentary that explores the community of Paradise, California as they rebuild their town after a wildfire devastates their community to ash.
