Movie propaganda

All she wanted was to make a living. Instead she made history.

A fictionalised account of the first major successful sexual harassment case in the USA - Jenson v Eveleth Mines - where a woman who endured a range of abuse while working as a miner filed and won the landmark 1984 lawsuit.

Single mother Josey Aimes (Charlize Theron) rallies her female co-workers to rise above unfair treatment they face at a local mining company.
