达格纳姆制造

1968年，英国达格南。福特汽车制造厂无疑是英国私营企业里的龙头翘楚。然而在以男性为主导的汽车行业里，女性的地位却显得尤为低下。187位缝纫女工在条件极为恶劣的工厂车间里，汗流浃背地埋头缝纫汽车座椅衬垫。肮脏闷热的工作环境，漫长无比的工作时间，而最重要的是，她们的工资却因为性别原因而被压榨到异常低廉。然而为了维持生活最基本的开销花费，这些女工们一直隐忍着这些不公平对待。终于，她们决定高举标语走上街头，罢工抗议在工作中受到的性别歧视，要求同工同酬。 　　丽塔·奥格兰迪（莎莉·霍金斯 Sally Hawkins 饰）无疑是这场女性权益斗争中的领军人物。凭借着非凡的勇气和不断的尝试，丽塔带领了众多女工踏上了维权之路。很快，这次罢工席卷全英国，成为了颁布反性别歧视的“公平工资法案”的导火索。In 1968, the Ford auto factory in Dagenham was one of the largest single private employers in the United Kingdom. In addition to the thousands of male employees, there are also 187 underpaid women machinists who primarily assemble the car seat upholstery in poor working conditions. Dissatisfied, the women, represented by the shop steward and Rita O'Grady, work with union rep Albert Passingham for a better deal. However, Rita learns that there is a larger issue in this dispute considering that women are paid an appalling fraction of the men's wages for the same work across the board on the sole basis of their sex. Refusing to tolerate this inequality any longer, O'Grady leads a strike by her fellow machinists for equal pay for equal work. What follows would test the patience of all involved in a grinding labour and political struggle that ultimately would advance the cause of women's rights around the world.
