Full Plot Details

In 1968, the Ford auto factory in Dagenham was one of the largest single private employers in the United Kingdom. In addition to the thousands of male employees, there are also 187 underpaid women machinists who primarily assemble the car seat upholstery in poor working conditions. Dissatisfied, the women, represented by the shop steward and Rita O'Grady, work with union rep Albert Passingham for a better deal. However, Rita learns that there is a larger issue in this dispute considering that women are paid an appalling fraction of the men's wages for the same work across the board on the sole basis of their sex. Refusing to tolerate this inequality any longer, O'Grady leads a strike by her fellow machinists for equal pay for equal work. What follows would test the patience of all involved in a grinding labour and political struggle that ultimately would advance the cause of women's rights around the world.

Movie Reviews

Observer - 10/10 by Una LaMarcheMade in Dagenham is a retro romp with heart, smarts, soul and wit that will restore your faith in the power of the picket line.
Liverpool Echo - 10/10 by Catherine JonesDirector Nigel Cole's film is laden with earthy humour and has a massive emotional kick in the final reel.
Triple J - 10/10 by Marc FennellAn old fashioned Workers vs. The Man flick that balances just the right amount of emotional grit with larger than life humour. A charmer
NYC Movie Guru - 10/10 by Avi OfferUplifting, delightful and inspirational. Sally Hawkins delivers a radiant, genuinely heartfelt performance.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeDid it actually happen this way? Probably not, but it should have, and it certainly works as effective drama.
East Bay Express - 9/10 by Kelly VanceIt may look like Norma Rae, but it's as English as egg and chips.
Boston Herald - 9/10 by James Verniere"Norma Rae' with scones, the feel-good, working-class fable "Made in Dagenham" tells the true-ish story of female autoworkers in an English Ford plant whose strike paralyzed the company and changed the way female workers were treated.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyThis fact-based melodrama is well acted by Sally Hawkins and Miranda Richardson, but it's also schmaltzy, predictable and curiously sunny for a working class tale; if you like Calendar Girls, you would'd like this one.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe unexpected thing about Made in Dagenham is how entertaining it is.
HitFix - 9/10 by Alonso Duralde[T]akes what was no doubt a valiant and game-changing labor battle and turns it into another Brit flick that tries desperately to be adorable.
