Movie Synopsis
When the 187 women at Ford’s car plant in Dagenham go on strike to get equal pay with the male employees, what starts off as an innocent act soon has larger repercussions within their trade union and within their personal lives. Will they stick it our what’s right, or will they give in to peer pressure?
Movie Review Summary
It’s amazing, watching this back, to think that something that started so small was actually a landmark case in British history. Two years after the strikes, Barbara Castle, the government’s Employment Secretary, pushed through the Equal Pay Act, securing the right for women to be recognised in the same way as men. If you’re up for watching a bit of history, and for a dose of the swinging 60′s, then you’ll enjoy this.
