From the director of Calendar Girls and a British cast including Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson, Geraldine James and Rosamund Pike comes the true story of one group of women's ground-breaking fight for equality. It’s 1968, the year of revolution and students are demonstrating the world over. Meanwhile in Dagenham, Essex, as far from the swinging sixties as possible, the Ford motor company is about to face its biggest ever threat, from the unlikeliest of places: the female sewing machinists. The women down tools when they are reclassified as ‘unskilled’. With humour, common sense, courage and the support of Barbara Castle they take on the government to strike an everlasting blow for equal pay for women. We are delighted to present a post-screening Q&A with Director Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls), alongside Producers Elizabeth Karlsen and Stephen Woolley (The Crying Game, Interview With the Vampire, Michael Collins). The Q&A will be hosted by Kate Kinninmont (Chief Executive – Women in Film and Television).
