Made in Dagenham

Dagenham, England, 1968: Women at the Ford Motor Company decide it’s high time they start being paid the same as their male counterparts. Egged on by their union rep, the women push Rita (Sally Hawkins) to become their reluctant spokesperson and face of the struggle, which of course comes with its own set of problems.

Rita, however, sticks to her guns and becomes the catalyst for some history-making equality. It’s a story we’re all aware of, but the film tells it with such passion and conviction that you’ll feel like you’re on the sidelines cheering the ballsy women on. A brilliant movie with a lot of heart.

Rating: 4 outta 5.
