Itinerary:

Come join me for some brunch & a movie ("Made in Dagenham") along Whyte Avenue.

Before the movie, we will meet up at 11:45am at the Artisan Resto-Cafe for some brunch. They have quite the selection of omelettes, egg benedict choices, waffles, pancakes, & many more. Click here to view their menu.

After brunch, we will watch the new movie "Made in Dagenham" at the Princess Theatre for the 2:00pm showing.
Made in Dagenham - Comedy, Drama - 111 minutes
When we think of '60s revolutionaries, the women of Dagenham don't fit the clichés—but these feisty, funny factory girls shook their world with spirit and courage, and achieved lasting social change (yes, even the grannies were "girls" to the men of Ford management and their own labor union). Based on a true story, Made in Dagenham portrays a decisive moment in that decade of upheaval, when the fight for equal rights and pay at the Ford Dagenham car plant was led—unexpectedly—by ordinary working-class women with one foot in the kitchen, one foot on the factory floor, and ears glued to the pop coming over the radio and telly from far-off London (19 kilometers and a world away). Throughout the campaign, the women of Dagenham rely on their humor, common sense and bravado to stand together, take on their bosses and face an increasingly belligerent local community. Daring to stand up and push boundaries, they changed the rules of the game not only for factory workers but also for the rights and expectations of women everywhere. Directed by Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls) and starring Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky), Miranda Richardson, Bob Hoskins, Geraldine James, Rosamund Pike (An Education), Andrea Riseborough and Rupert Graves.
