If you loved Hombre, try Norma Rae

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

What Norma Rae is

Working-class grit meets quiet rebellion in a 1970s Carolina mill town. A sharp-eyed factory worker partners with an outside organizer to challenge management and rally her skeptical coworkers. Sally Field carries the film with steady resolve, a portrait of ordinary courage in an era of industrial fatigue.
