Made In Dagenham

Set against the backdrop of the 1960s, Made In Dagenham is based on a true story about a group of spirited women who joined forces, took a stand for what was right, and, in doing so, found their own inner strength. At the English town's local Ford automobile plant, Rita O'Grady (Hawkins) is one of only 187 women in a workforce of 55,000 men. Facing overwhelming opposition in this "man's world," Rita rallies her female co-workers to fight for equal pay—a stand that defies the corporate status quo, threatens her marriage, and ultimately exacts a tragic toll. But with the support of the shop's steward (Richardson), the women become the sensation of the nation—and the catalyst for a profound turning point in time. (Gary Reber)
