WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Maud Watts (Mulligan), a lowly worker in a laundry factor and a loving mother, becomes caught up in the early feminist movement as women activists lobby endlessly for the right to vote, and as they are forced underground by an increasingly brutal State…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

With the question of gender diversity being brought up more so in recent years than ever before, Suffragette is a film that not only highlights the brave activism of the early feminist movement that led to women getting the right to vote, but also the strong creative minds of the women filmmakers and actors involved.
