Released in 2010, the film We want sex equality, directed by the Englishman Nigel Cole, is a popular success all across Europe. The film reveals a little-known episode of English social struggles: the Ford sewing machinists' strike of 1968 at the Ford factory in Dagenham. 

Downgraded to unskilled workers, paid less than their male colleagues, the strikers would shake the giant Ford and the Labor government of the day. Considered one of the greatest British feminist struggles of the late 1960s, this is the true story of the Dagenham sewing machinists.
