Now HBO, SUFFRAGETTE Movie (2015), Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham-Carter, Meryl Streep

[appalachiablue]

Galvanized by activist Emmeline Pankhurst, a young mother joins the British suffragette movement. Inspired by true events, “Suffragette” movingly explores the passion and heartbreak of those who risked all they had for women’s right to vote – their jobs, their homes, their children, and even their lives. Academy Award nominees Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter, and 3-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, lead the cast of the powerful drama about the fight for equality in early-20th-century Britain. The stirring story centers on Maud, a working wife and mother who becomes an activist for the Suffragette cause alongside women from all walks of life. “Suffragette” is directed by BAFTA Award winner Sarah Gavron and written by Emmy Award winner Abi Morgan. ~ Look for Additional HBO Showings This Wkend.

[treestar]

2. That looks good!

Look forward to it!

[mcar]

3. A very good film. Saw it in the theater

I was so angry afterward at what was done to these women.

[appalachiablue]

5. Very well done, and I'm also upset at the intense opposition

and very rough, unfair treatment these brave women endured. Not that long ago.

[mcar]

8. Did you see the credits at the end

that showed the dates other countries allowed women's suffrage? Switzerland wasnt until the 1970s!

[appalachiablue]

9. Thanks, just incredible. I remember reading about other countries

and women's suffrage dates. We must remember, appreciate and preserve this hard fought right, world wide.
Democracy is losing ground in these times, so we have to fight, hard..as many courageous people did before us.

17. We don't have HBO, but we rented it. Plan to buy it.

Thanks for the reminder about this great movie.

Thanks for posting this so others can see how inspiring this movie was and glimpse, through this small window, the struggles of women to vote - and perhaps consequently reflect on the privilege (and consequences) we now all share.

NOTE: * Right subject to conditions or restrictions; ** Restrictions or conditions lifted

1. Reference to several dates reflects the stages in the granting of rights. It is not uncommon, in countries previously under colonial rule, for women to have been granted the rights to vote and be elected by the colonial administration and to have had them confirmed at the time of accession to independence. Similarly, it is not uncommon, in countries that were formerly part of a federation and in which women were entitled to vote and be elected under the federal legislation, for women to have had these rights confirmed under the Constitution of the newly independent State.

2. In November 1955, Eritrea was part of Ethiopia. The Constitution of sovereign Eritrea adopted on 23 May 1997 stipulates that "All Eritrean citizens, of eighteen years of age or more, shall have the right to vote."

13. Ann Coulter should be forced to watch it.

How many times has she mouthed off that women shouldn't be able to vote?

[appalachiablue]

15. I've not heard her say that but believe it. Ann's junior twinsie, Brit

Louise Mensch, right winger extreme is making the media rounds now on France 24, Bill Maher, etc. Ugh.
