Made in Dagenham
2010
Streaming Video
A dramatization of the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant, where female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination. 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. 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 kilometres and a world away). It's a vintage girl power tale.
