If you loved Hud, 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
Both films are directed by Martin Ritt, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hud, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

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.
