Norma Rae
In an Oscar-winning performance, Sally Field is unforgettable as Norma Rae, the Southern millworker who revolutionises a small town and discovers a power in herself she never knew she had. Under the guidance of a New York unioniser (Ron Leibman) and with increasing courage and determination, Norma Rae organises her fellow factory workers to fight for better conditions and wages. Based on a true story, "Norma Rae" is the mesmerising tale of a modern day heroine. Co-starring Beau Bridges, Pat Hingle.
