Norma RaeNorma Rae (1979) will be screened on April 9 at 6pm at the American Centre, No 44, Galle Road, Colombo 3. (Run-ning Time: 110 minutes)Veteran director Martin Ritt (Sounder) direct-ed this earnest and very popular tale of a naive textile worker, widow, and mother in the U.S. South who becomes empowered by stand-ing up for her rights in the workplace. Sally Field stars in the Oscar-winning title role as a woman who has been content to go along with the status quo until she realizes that she is entitled to more and can succeed if she stands up for herself. Her fight to improve deplorable working conditions at the textile plant causes a rift between her and the people closest to her, but her deter-mination brings a new awareness to her and to all the women with whom she works. Ritt’s typical, socially conscious story uses the politics of Norma Rae’s

struggle and also its emotions to build the film to a rousing climax.

Seating is limited and is first-come, first-served.
