Suffragette is an urgent and compelling film – made by British women, about British women who changed the course of history – and it is, quite simply, a film that everyone must see. Director Sarah Gavron (Brick Lane, Village at the End of the World) returns to the festival with an intense drama that traces the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement as they fought for the right to vote. Maud (Carey Mulligan) has worked hard and exploitative hours in the same factory job since she was a girl; her only respite is the affection of her husband (Ben Whishaw) and their sweet young son. When her deepening friendship with fellow worker and activist Violet (Anne-Marie Duff) fuels her sense of injustice, she commits to the suffrage cause.

Director – Sarah Gavron
