Made In Dagenham (2010)

Based on the true events in late 60's Britain, a group of women at a Ford factory do the unthinkable for that era, not just go on strike, but demand equal pay for doing a semi-skilled job.

With a fine cast of Brit favourites, Miranda Richardson, Roger Lloyd-Pack, John Sessions,  Daniel Mays and Bob Hoskins as the shop steward, "Mad In Dagenham" is a thoroughly entertaining docu-drama with plenty of comic moments thrown in, with some coarse funny dialogue from the ladies, and lead Sally Hawkins is rock solid as the spokeswoman for the factory, Rita O'Grady.
