Dramatization of the 1968 labor strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant in England where 850 female workers walked out to protest sexual discrimination on their job performance reviews from a company with antifeminist attitudes and policies. Rita O'Grady (Hawkins) and her female colleagues challenge their bosses, their community, and their government to fight for the respect they deserve. Apt and inspirational--though a tad schmaltzy--depiction of the intelligence, humor, and bravery that the women drew upon to change the system.
