Made
in Dagenham at Library Film Series
The Greenville Public Library's Third Floor Film Series will screen the
2010 film Made in Dagenham in April. Directed by Nigel Cole, Made
in Dagenham is an inspiring and often humorous look at the fight for
women's equality in the workplace.
Set in the working class London suburb of Dagenham in 1968, Made in
Dagenham follows the efforts of a plucky group of women working as
sewing machinists for the Ford Dagenham plant to receive pay equal to
that of their male counterparts.
The inimitable Sally Hawkins plays fictional character Rita O'Grady, a
young wife and mother who leads the strike and becomes the group's
spokesperson. Excellent performances by Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, and
Miranda Richardson make the film as entertaining as it is heartwarming.
Join us on Tuesday, April 2, at 6:30 p.m., as we screen Made in
Dagenham. Free popcorn, candy, and soft drinks will be provided, and
David Nilsen will lead a brief discussion after the film. We hope to
see you there!
