This Tuesday, September 27th at 12:30 PM, there will be a showing of Suffragette @ Seniors in the Park, in the Starin community building.
Suffragette describes Britain’s “foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, women who were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal State. These women were not primarily from the genteel educated classes, they were working women who had seen peaceful protest achieve nothing. Radicalized and turning to violence as the only route to change, they were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality – their jobs, their homes, their children and their lives. Maud was one such foot soldier. The story of her fight for dignity is as gripping and visceral as any thriller, it is also heart-breaking and inspirational.”
The film stars Carey Mulligan, Anne-Marie Duff, and Helena Bonham Carter, with a run time of one hour, forty-six minutes, and carrying a PG-13 rating from the MPAA.
One can find more information about Suffragette at the Internet Movie Database.
Enjoy.
