2.2.14

made in dagenham (2010)

"Everybody out!"
It's 1968 and fed up of being exploited as unskilled labour, the machinists of Fords Dagenham finally decide enough is enough and come out on strike. Led by Rita (Sally Hawkins), who realises that the fight is more than about being skilled, but about sex discrimination.
A finely made, (though a bit sugary), dramatisation of the fight for recognition that the female employees of Fords undertook, and eventually won, but at a price.
