With a stellar British cast Made In Dogenham is the inspiring story of the women who made history! Sally Hawkins is Rita O'Grady, a feisty yet warm-hearted worker at the Ford car plant in Dagenham, who leads the revolution for equal pay for women. Set in the swinging sixties against a stunningly colourful backdrop of beehives and Biba dresses. Made In Dagenham follows the emotional journey of a group of friends including Jaime Winstone and Geraldine James from the factory floor to the House Of Commons. With the help of Union shop steward Bob Hoskins they prove nothing is impossible if you stand up for what you believe, in this heart-warming must-see story!

Good characters and well acted, story explaining historical events. Worth watching in the style of the british working class film. If you like films like Brassed Off and The Full Monty you will like this.

Made in Dagenham review by RP
Enjoyable - but it's a drama, not a documentary

Well, I suppose it's intended to be a feel-good film with plucky Essex girls winning the war for equal pay for women. And it's had good reviews, so who am I to disagree? Frankly, it felt like a caricature – simplistic characters, industrial relations and politics, strewn with anachronisms, and workers who won but ultimately lost. It's not stated in the film, but Ford Motor Co ceased car manufacture in the UK in 2002.
The film aims for a period feel – and to a certain extent succeeds - but it's a bogus period feel. Also, it feels quite derivative of other and better British success-against-the odds films ('Billy Elliot', 'The Full Monty', 'Brassed Off' etc). The acting is good throughout – but make no mistake, that's what it is, acting. Real industrial relations isn't and wasn't like this – it's a drama, not a documentary. It's quite an enjoyable film so I'll give it 3/5 stars.

Fantastic story and brilliantly acted. it really brings it home how far women's condition has progressed since then! The period is very well recreated and Miranda Richardson as Barbara Castle is just simply superb.
