'Made in Dagenham' observant and gripping

A wonderfully British film with a fine cast of English talent – including Rosamund Pike, Kenneth Cranham and Geraldine James – retracing the headline-grabbing 1968 strike by the 187 female machinists (the rest of the 55,000 workforce was male) that brought the mighty Ford motor company to its knees.

Director: Nigel Cole

Cast: Sally Hawkins, Daniel Mays, Bob Hoskins, Miranda Richardson
