RADIOACTIVE (Theatrical Release USA 2020)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.8|5.0 Starsìììì

Radioactive—entertainment and education in one sweet package—just ‘pops’ with WOW! and BRAVO! It so beautifully balances its educational value with entertainment that the audience never once has to stop and ask why or to say ‘Enough’. Classically formatted, the movie easily captures the emotion of the story with some of the best acting on the market. Great watch. Don’t miss this movie.
