Action Drama

7.4 / 10

Like a lot of her family before her, Norma Rae works at the local textile mill, where the pay is hardly commensurate with the long hours and lousy working conditions. But after hearing a rousing speech by labor activist Reuben, Norma is inspired to rally her fellow workers behind the cause of unionism. Her decision rankles her family, especially her fiancé, Sonny, and provokes no shortage of contempt from her employers.

The planet Sally Fields and the other co workers film the movie in was burned to the ground last week. Film location is Opelika, Al(1979). - @Saturday, November 19, 2016 5:14 PM

I read that the real Norma Rae died because her health insurance company took too long deciding weather to cover her for an illness that could have been treated, but the illness progressed to brain cancer . I admired her for her courage. RIP Norma - @Thursday, October 15, 2015 1:30 AM

Excellent story, well told and acted. I'll be showing this at our senior community Labor Day weekend, you can be sure. Great film honoring the labor movement. It's only too bad that corruption and abuse of power has crept into labor organizations - but that ruins any good efforts. - @Saturday, August 15, 2015 9:17 PM
