Plot
Sarah Gavron directs Meryl Streep, Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter in 'Suffragette', a historic drama focused on the fight for equal voting in United Kingdom. Maude, Carey Mulligan's character, lives her life being nearly nothing for being a woman. She doesn't think things could be different, until she meets a group of women who fight for their right to vote. They are willing to loose everything for dignity and equality in the elections. Gavron, director known for films like 'Village at the End of the World', 'Brick Lane' or 'This Little Life', based her work on a script by Abi Morgan to shape this film that is already a favorite for Oscar 2016.
Ben Whishaw, Brendan Gleeson and Romola Garai also appear in this film.

Trivia
This was the first film that was allowed to be shot in the British Houses of Parliament since the 1950s.
At the London premiere, feminist direct action group Sisters Uncut jumped the barriers and staged a lie-in on the red carpet to protest against cuts to domestic violence services, declaring "the battle isn't over yet". The stars of the film continued giving interviews and meeting fans as the activists chanted "Dead women can't vote" and "We are suffragettes". Interviewed at the premiere, Helena Bonham Carter said: "I'm glad our film has done something. That's exactly what it's there for," adding that the protest was the "perfect" response to the film.
Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep) was in 1999, named as one of the top 100 most important people of the 20th Century by Time Magazine.
