Rita (Hawkins, Happy Go Lucky) lives in Dagenham and, like many local women, works at the Ford plant stitching together seat covers. It's intricate work carried out in sweltering conditions. So why, she wonders, are the workers paid the same as unskilled labourers? Is it because they are women? Set in 1968 Made in Dagenham shows how, at some expense to their family lives and in a country already crippled by strikes, the Dagenham women managed to overturn an age-old hypocrisy. Featuring an estimable British cast and sensitively directed by Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls), this is an astute and entertaining look at British sexual politics.
