1979| DCP | USA | D: Martin Ritt
A feisty single mother in the American South fails to change the appalling conditions in her mill job, until a union organiser from New York arrives in town.
Sally Field delivers a powerful, gritty performance in this landmark labour-solidarity drama, which explores class, racial and sexual politics, and earned her an Academy Award.
‘Norma Rae is heroic, but she comes into her own, as a woman, because she is fighting for class solidarity –a struggle that, in turn, could not happen without a breaking down of long-standing ethnic and racial barriers.’ – The New Yorker
