In World War I, they weren’t on the front lines — but they were still in the blast zone. The “Canary Girls,” young women who worked in British munitions factories, faced slow poisoning, silent explosions, and a war that barely remembered their names. This immersive historical story follows their quiet courage and unseen suffering, from stained uniforms to fading photographs.

This isn't just history — it's a memory written in dust.
