"Made in Dagenham tells the incredible story of the 187 women who went on strike at Ford’s Dagenham factory in 1968 in protest at being downgraded to ‘unskilled’ workers."
"In their own way, the women whose story is told in Made in Dagenham were pioneers too. Although they identified as everyday working women who before the strike hadn’t been particularly politically active or even aware, their actions brought about huge social and political change"
"The strike brought the factory – employing a total workforce of 55,000 and churning out half a million cars a year – to a standstill. And it eventually brought about the Equal Pay Act. The film reaches its stirring climax by bowing out on this high."
