Suffragette
Working to bring women the right to vote, the early feminist movement would send thousands of women to jail, and force thousands more to organize and fight from the underground. Suffragette is the tale of some of the early foot soldiers in the movement. An all star cast including Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, and Meryl Streep brings this weighty docudrama to life with Direction from Sarah Gavron and screenplay by Abi Morgan. Important in its historical implications and lessons and even more important now as there are still countries bent on the oppression of women’s rights, this is a story that cannot be forgotten. Solid production quality, solid acting, solid material, a winner for those looking to fill their minds with a solid education. Suffragette is rated PG-13.
