Historical note

This is a short cinematic overview based on the public historical record of Marie Skłodowska-Curie’s life and work. It is not a substitute for academic biography or primary sources.

Sources (starting list)

• Nobel Prize outreach materials on Marie Curie (Physics 1903; Chemistry 1911)
• Public historical summaries of the discovery of polonium and radium (1898)
• Documented work on mobile X-ray units (“Little Curies”) during World War I
• Widely reported legacy details (e.g. curium; long-lived radioactivity of her notebooks)

We will expand this list with formal citations as the companion page matures.

AI production disclosure

Visuals are AI-assisted historical dramatizations, not archival footage. Research, writing, direction, and editing are human-led. Dialogue and scenes may be reconstructed for storytelling; treat dramatized moments as interpretation, not documentary film of the original events.
