MADE IN DAGENHAM

In 1968, Dagenham, England was the location of the largest Ford Motor Company factory in Europe.
168 women worked sewing car seatcovers, earning a fraction of the income of their male counterparts.
In the lively and entertaining Made in Dagenham, soft-spoken Rita O'Grady (Sally Hawkins,
Happy Go Lucky) is elected to attend what is expected to be an uneventful meeting between the union
representative and Ford execs, and soon finds herself the unlikely leader and spokeswoman for a historic
strike demanding equal pay. Full of humor, Made in Dagenham is the inspiring true story of a brave
grassroots movement that continues to be extraordinarily relevant today. UK, 2010, 113 min., color,
