Sally Hawkins stars as Rita O'Grady, the catalyst for the 1968 Ford Dagenham strike by 187 sewing machinists which led to the advent of the Equal Party Act.
Working in extremely impoverished conditions for long, arduous hours, the women at the Ford Dagenham plant finally lose their patience when they are reclassified as "unskilled".  With humour, common sense and courage, they take on their corporate paymasters, and increasingly belligerent local community, and finally the government itself.
