International Police in post-war Bosnia at a U.K. company called Democra Security. Upon fighting for the trial for a Muslim woman suffering from domestic abuse and succeeding, Kathryn is made head of the department of gender affairs. She becomes involved in the case of a young Ukrainian woman named Raya, who had recently been sold by her uncle to a sex trafficking ring. She escapes and Kathryn sends her to a women's shelter specifically set up for the victims of sexual slavery. Through Raya's case, Kathryn is able to uncover a wide-scale sexual slavery and human-trafficking ring that various international personnel, including that of the U.S., have participated in. Furthermore, when she brings the scandal to the attention of the U.N., she discovers that they have covered it up in order to prevent any more war in the country. Kathryn finds allies in Madeleine Rees (Vanessa Redgrave) and Peter Ward (David Strathairn), authority figures who support her investigation. Kathryn is soon fired from her job due to her knowing too much about the scandal and her reluctance to stop the investigation. Meanwhile, Raya had been captured again and is later found dead, only pushing Kathryn even more to bring the scandal to light. She and Ward eventually capture evidence of an official admitting to the scandal, and she brings it to the BBC. It is said in the ending credits that following Kathryn's departure, a number of peacekeepers were sent home, though none faced criminal charges because of immunity laws. It is also noted that the U.S. continues to do business with private contractors like Democra Security, including ones worth billions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Cast .

The screenplay byMichael Seitzman was inspired by the 2002 book Class Action: The Story of Lois Jenson and the Landmark Case That Changed Sexual Harassment Law by Clara Bingham and Laura Leedy Gansler, which chronicled the case of Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Company. [edit]Plot In 1989, Josey (Charlize Theron) returns to her hometown in northern Minnesota with her children, Sam (Thomas Curtis) and Karen (Elle Peterson), after escaping from her abusive husband. She moves in with her parents, Alice (Sissy Spacek) and Hank (Richard Jenkins). Hank is ashamed of Josey, who became pregnant at the age of 16, and believes that this was the result of Josey being promiscuous. The townspeople believe the same, which causes them not to allow Josey to blend in. Her only friends are Glory (Frances McDormand) and Glory's boyfriend Kyle Dodge (Sean Bean). Glory, who works at the local iron mines (the town's main source of income), aids Josey in getting a job there. Glory and Kyle also allow Josey to stay at their place with her children, due to Josey's bad relationship with her father. Josey quickly befriends the other female workers at the mine, which include Glory, Sherry (Michelle Monaghan) and Big Betty (Rusty Schwimmer), and becomes the target of provocations spearheaded by Bobby Sharp (Jeremy Renner), Josey's high school boyfriend who also works at the mine. Her attempts to stop the provocations by reporting it to the mine's higher-up only worsen it, and soon all the women are being verbally and physically abused by men at the factory. Josey is also sexually harassed by many of them, including Bobby. Josey's refusal in giving in on her male co-workers' demands causes them to spread lies about her being promiscuous and trying to seduce them, which cause Josey to be further segregated not only by her father and the men's wives, but also by Sam, who starts believing that his mother is indeed promiscuous after discovering that he was the result of her teenage pregnancy. After even the mine's board of directors refuses to hear Josey's complaints about the way women are treated at the mine, she quits and asks Bill White (Woody Harrelson), a friend of Kyle and Glory and also a lawyer – to help her file a lawsuit against the company. Bill tells her that the best way to win a case like this is by convincing the other women to back up her statements in court. The women, however, are hesitant, as this would mean risking their jobs, and refuse. Josey also discovers that Glory has ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.) Hank is disappointed by Josey's decision, and Alice leaves him, tired of hearing him criticizing their daughter for something that was not her fault. Hank later attends a union meeting. Josey appears, hoping to address the miners and explain her reasons for suing the mine. When they refuse to hear her and start verbally abusing her, Hank stands up for his daughter and reprimands his co-workers for their rude treatment of Josey and all the women at the factory. At the court, the mine's lawyers attempt to hold Josey's so-called "promiscuous" past against her, and have Bobby Sharp testify on how Sam is the fruit of a consensual sexual relationship between Josey and one of her teachers. Josey then reveals the truth: When she and Bobby were 16, they were caught skipping class and kissing by their teacher and were forced to stay after class as punishment. When detention ended, Bobby left first to start up his car, intending to give Josey a ride. While he was away, Josey was attacked and raped by her teacher. Bobby witnessed the rape and not knowing what to do, he left the school quickly. Josey got pregnant from the rape, but refused to abort the baby or give it away, and had Sam. Josey's lawyer Bill gets Bobby to admit he is lying about the sex being consensual. Glory has come to the court in her wheel chair and from the back of the room her husband reads a letter saying she stands with Josey. Other women then stand up to support Josey's complaint. They are followed by more women, family members, and miners. With this, the mining company loses the case and is forced to pay the women for what they suffered, in addition to establishing a sexual harassment policy at the workplace. Josey, vindicated, thanks Bill for all that he has done for her and her family and departs to teach Sam how to drive, telling him that she intends to buy him a car on his 18th birthday. [edit]Production notes Lois Jenson, on whom the character of Josey is based, actually began working at the EVTAC mine in Eveleth, Minnesota in 1975 and initiated her lawsuit in 1984, four years before the year in which the film begins. Its time line was condensed, but in reality it took fourteen years for the case to be settled. Jenson declined to sell the rights to her story or act as the film's consultant.[1] The film was shot in the towns of Eveleth, Virginia, and Chisholm in northern Minnesota; Minneapolis; and Silver City and Santa Fe inNew Mexico. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and was shown at the Chicago International Film Festival before going into theatrical release in the US, where it grossed $6,422,455 in its opening weekend, ranking 5th at the box office.[2] Budgeted at $30 million, it eventually grossed $18,324,242 in the US and $5,300,000 in foreign markets for a total worldwide box office of $23,624,242.[3] Principal cast .

    THE MANY NORMA RAES: WORKING-CLASS WOMEN IN THE 1970s CAMPAIGN TO ORGANIZE J.P. STEVENS Joey Ann Fink A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall John Kasson Robert Korstad Nancy MacLean Zaragosa Vargas ©2015 Joey Ann Fink ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joey Ann Fink: The Many Norma Raes: Working-Class Women in the 1970s Campaign to Organize J.P. Stevens (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) In the 1970s, labor, civil rights activists, feminists, religious leaders, and mill workers united in a multi-faceted campaign to unionize J. P. Stevens’s textile mills in the Piedmont South. The campaign had support from celebrities, civic leaders, and professional athletes. In 1979, the Academy Award-winning movie, Norma Rae, dramatized the story of mill worker Crystal Lee Sutton, who was fired and arrested for her part in the organizing drive in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. Sutton toured the country as the “real Norma Rae,” ratcheting up the public pressure on Stevens, the nation’s second largest textile manufacturer and “number one labor law violator.” This dissertation presents the Stevens campaign as part of a broad movement for workers’ rights in the 1970s that tapped into a groundswell of grassroots organizing in the South and nationwide around issues of economic injustice, occupational health and safety, civil rights, and feminism. The organizing drive in Roanoke Rapids in 1973-74 demonstrated that the mill workers could sustain interracial solidarity as they contended with Stevens’s harassment and intimidation, as well as internal conflicts over issues of sexuality and respectability.

  • Norma Rae Showing at Kentucky Theatre Nov. 3 Film Ties Together Labor, Health Reform, Gender, and Racial Justice Movements
    Norma Rae showing at Kentucky Theatre Nov. 3 Film ties together labor, health reform, gender, and racial justice movements By Betsy Taylor On September 11, Crystal Lee Sutton died from brain cancer at age 68. She faced her death with the same fighting spirit that blazes out of Norma Rae (1979), the film based on her life. Denied possibly life saving treatments for two months after her diagnosis, Sutton had to battle illness and an insurance corporation simultaneously. In a June 2008 interview with the Burlington Times-News, reporter Handgraaf observed that Sutton saw this as “another example of abusing the working poor.” “It is almost,” she said, “like...committing murder”. Central Kentucky gets a chance to honor Sutton's generous, valiant spirit at a public celebration at the Kentucky Theatre on November 3. At 6:30, the Reel World String Band will kick things off with a rousing set of labor and justice music, followed by the film Norma Rae. I think Crystal Lee Sutton would like this event. Organized by the Kentucky Division of the United Nations Association, it aims to gather together all sorts of people and justice struggles—labor, health reform, racial and gender justice. I was nervous sitting down to watch Norma Rae last night. Could it possibly be as good as I remembered it? Well, yes, in the cold morning sunlight, I have to say it's a great film, with meanings that have deepened after 30 years—tragically, shamefully for all Americans. All I really remembered from my previous viewing many years ago was that culminating scene when Sally Field leaps onto a table, holding up a sign on which she has rapidly scrawled “UNION,” surrounded by the deafening racket of the textile mill, the police and company bosses massing to haul her (illegally) to jail, and the fierce gaze of hundreds of her co-workers on the knife's edge between their fear and their hunger to revolt, to join the union, to throw off several generations of subordination in a two-class company town.

  • E the Other Hollywood Renaissance
    EDITED BY DOMINIC LENNARD, R. BARTON PALMER AND, PALMER BARTON R. Traditions in American Cinema POMERANCE MURRAY Series Editors: Linda Badley and R. Barton Palmer This series explores a wide range of traditions in American cinema which are in need of introduction, investigation or critical reassessment. It emphasises the multiplicity rather than the supposed homogeneity of studio-era and independent filmmaking, making a case that the American cinema is more diverse than some accounts might suggest. THE OTHER HOLLYWOOD RENAISSANCE In the late 1960s, the collapse of the classic Hollywood studio system led in part, and for less than a decade, to a production trend heavily influenced by the international art cinema. Reflecting a new self-consciousness in the US about the national film patrimony, RENAISSANCE HOLLYWOOD THE OTHER this period is known as the Hollywood Renaissance. However, critical study of the period is generally associated with its so-called principal auteurs, slighting a number of established and emerging directors who were responsible for many of the era’s most innovative and artistically successful releases. With contributions from leading film scholars, this book provides a revisionist account EDITED BY DOMINIC LENNARD, R. BARTON PALMER, of this creative resurgence by discussing and memorializing twenty-four directors of note who have not yet been given a proper place in the larger history of the period. Including AND MURRAY POMERANCE filmmakers such as Hal Ashby, John Frankenheimer, Mike Nichols, and Joan Micklin Silver, this more expansive approach to the auteurism of the late 1960s and 1970s seems not only appropriate but pressing – a necessary element of the re-evaluation of “Hollywood” with THE OTHER which cinema studies has been preoccupied under the challenges posed by the emergence and flourishing of new media.

  • Arts of Work: Making Sense of Films About Working People and Their Jobs by Alan Clardy
    RESEARCH REPORT Arts of work: Making Sense of Films about working People and their Jobs by Alan Clardy or decades, films have opened a window into the world of dramatic focus on personal adjustment and sacrifice. In other films, work (the major life activity of productive economic activity) the occupation of the main characters is more central to the plot, but Fand working (the personal experience of work) for mass only in the sense that it defines the genre of the story; films about audiences around the world. Although surprisingly many films private detectives or the police are really dramas of mystery and deal with these topics in a peripheral manner, far fewer focus action. In other films, like American Beauty (1999) the working primarily on these twin issues. Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times situations of the main characters (here played by Kevin Spacey and (1936) – inspired by his visit to the huge Ford Motor plant at River Annette Bening) are somewhat more important ingredients to the Rouge – famously shows the plight of his “tramp” character at a story, framing the real dramas of a broken marriage, teenage and factory, where he becomes so much a part of the machinery that he adult rebellion, and deliverance. Finally, a number of films cannot stop and is literally swallowed whole.1 A year earlier in implicate issues and aspects of work as ways to illustrate the larger Black Fury (1935), Paul Muni plays an immigrant coal miner context of class. For example, we see a young Loretta Lynn's whose anguish over lost love makes him a pawn in a game of hardscrabble life as a Coal Miner's Daughter (1980), yet learn little increasing labor strife, fueled by a Pinkerton-type agency stirring about the actual work of coal miners.
