The Brits did it again. With "Made in Dagenham," BBC Films and the UK Film Council took a phenomenal true story and beat the U.S. at its own inspirational-film game. In 1968, 187 workers at the British Ford Automobile Plant went on strike. As machinists, they were labeled "unskilled workers" and therefore received a lower grade of pay. Never mind that their work was so highly detailed that it required passing a test.
