Made in Dagenham

Aroview: Nostalgic, uplifting dramatization of the 1968 strike at the Ford car plant in Dagenham, where female machinists famously walked out in protest against sexual discrimination, demanding equal pay.
While it adheres to the tried-and-true formula of so many feature Brit-coms, the lightweight treatment is substantiated by historical resonance and the inspired lead casting of the adorably quirky Sally Hawkins.
