Suffragette

Stream HERE!

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment our next Rialto Recommends is 2015's SUFFRAGETTE. Academy Award nominees Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter, and three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, lead the cast of a powerful drama about the women who were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality in early-20th-century Britain. Inspired by true events, SUFFRAGETTE is a moving drama exploring 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. The Washington Post said "Suffragette" is an absorbing, ultimately moving portrait of thwarted ideals that rings all too true today." While the Seattle Times said "It's always compelling; you feel grateful, watching, that this story is being told at all." SUFFRAGETTE is streaming on Netflix HERE.
