I’ve been told this is an adorable movie with a great big heart! You all know I love movies and I’m hoping to get over to Midtown to check this one out this week!Below is an opening notice for Sony Classics MADE IN DAGENHAM, a sweet and funny arthouse movie that showcases a few female factory workers who ended up changing social norm and ultimately law in UK. Made by the same filmmakers of CALENDAR GIRLS, this is a great holiday alternative to the big blockbusters
The film opens in Atlanta on Wednesday, December 29th at Landmark Midtown.
MADE IN DAGENHAM (Sony Pictures Classics)
Rating: Rated R
Run Time 113 Minutes
When we think of ‘60s revolutionaries, the women of Dagenham don’t fit the clichés – but these feisty, funny factory girls shook their world with spirit and courage, and achieved lasting social change (yes, even the grannies were “girls” to the men of Ford management and their own labor union).
Based on a true story, Made in Dagenham portrays a decisive moment in that decade of upheaval, when the fight for equal rights and pay was led – unexpectedly – by ordinary working-class women with one foot in the kitchen, one foot on the factory floor, and ears glued to the pop coming over the radio and telly from far-off London (19 kilometers and a world away). It’s a vintage “girl power” tale.
