Made in Dagenham

On Tuesday, February 1, 2011, I went to see the movie Made in Dagenham. This is a movie based on the historical strike at the Ford Dagenham plant, which spread to other parts of the United Kingdom because of a bunch of women machinists' quest for equal pay. Their strike caused the halt of the entire Ford production line in England. According to the movie, the factory had to get the men to go on strike as well, or send them home without pay because they were not going to pay them for doing nothing.

I liked this film's progression. It started off slowly, building up the story. Eventually, you figure out what's wrong and then the real problem is introduced to the audience... The fact that Ford is hoping to get away with paying women less, so that they can pocket more profit.

There were some very noticeable stars in this film. Bob Hoskins and Rosamund Pike for example.

A very funny film that is very well done. You should take the time to go and watch this gem. It is well written and the humour is clever.
