Based on the real-life figure Crystal Lee Sutton, Norma Rae stars Sally Field as a union organizer who is galvanized to create a better life for her family. Struggling financially and romantically, Norma leads her factory to unionization in a film that still resonates with its message of the power found in collective bargaining. Field won Best Actress for playing the cotton mill worker who fought back during one of the United States’ bleakest periods for labor rights.

Director: Martin Ritt. Cast: Sally Field, Ron Leibman, Beau Bridges, Pat Hingle. 1979. 114 minutes. USA. Color. English. 35mm. Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive.
