About the film

  • Film rating: Suffragette is rated 12A, meaning the film is generally unsuitable for children under 12, but they may still watch it if accompanied by a responsible adult.

Suffragette is a 2015 historical drama film directed by Sarah Gavron. It is inspired by the real women who fought for the right to vote in early 20th‑century Britain. The film stars Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson and Meryl Streep.

The film follows an ordinary working woman who becomes involved in the growing women’s suffrage movement. As the campaign becomes more determined and confrontational, she and others face increasing pressure, personal sacrifice and risk in their fight for equality and the right to be heard.

Refreshments

Refreshments including snacks and soft drinks will be available before the film begins. These will be served by the Rochdale Town Hall.
