( October 2015 ) Based on a true story, Made in Dagenham explores the movement that caused a significant law reform. Rita O'Grady ( a fictional character ) leads the 1968 Ford sewing machinists strike at the Ford Dagenham plant, where female workers walk out in protest against sexual discrimination, demanding equal pay. This strike causes a lot of public attention around the world and was seen as out of the ordinary to many because it was not in a woman 's nature to do anything else other than the traditional family roles. The strike is successful and leads to the Equal Pay Act 1970.

Maclean 's, in a review for the film 's 2010 Toronto International Film Festival premiere, called it a ``... combination of Milk and Mad Men... It 's a film that blatantly condemns sexism and shows, despite its mostly light tone, the real cost of fighting for civil rights. The bee - hived and bobbed characters are fully fleshed and well - rounded even though they fit into ' 60s archetypes, and the period piece balances optimism and realism in a way that 's both compelling and fun to watch. '' Xan Brooks of The Guardian gave it three stars out of five, calling it ``... uncomplicated fare, overly spiced with 60s cliches... But the film is also robust, amiable and so warm - hearted you 'd be a churl to take against it. '' Roger Ebert gave the film three and a half stars out of four., while David Cox, also of The Guardian, gave a less glowing review, suggesting that, despite initial potential, ``... a promising opportunity has been squandered. '' Mark Kermode praised the film highly on his weekly show on BBC Radio 5 Live. He ranked it as his fourth favourite film of 2010, beating such films as The Social Network and Another Year.
