Made in Dagenham (2010)

In 1968, there were 55,000 men employed at Ford’s Dagenham factory … and 187 women. And just because they were women, they were the lowest rate in whole factory despite the fact they’ve got considerable skill. They were no longer accept the situation, so they decided to strike in order to achieve one thing only : FAIRNESS and they won’t stop until they got the same rates of pay as men. First of all, I LOVE the movie. The setting, music and costumes set up the tone of the times perfectly. William Ivory wote excellent screenplay, all the dialogue was place in a realistic situation, making me laugh and sad thru the film. Director Nigel Cole has done a marvellous job, balancing the comedy and serious drama without losing a single pace. Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky) was outstanding portraying Rita O'Grady, the unlikely leader of the strike, which grew into a national movement that forced passage of the UK Equal Pay Act of 1970. Other casts also have done a terrific job. Watching the film made me feel emotionally touched, educated and entertained. Made In Dagenham will strike you, HARD! So go see it. NOW!
