Norma Rae

Norma Rae Webster is a minimum-wage worker in a cotton mill that has taken too much of a toll on the health of her family for her to ignore their poor working conditions. She is also a single mother with two children by different fathers, one dead and the other negligent, and frequently has flings with other men to alleviate her loneliness and boredom. Two men enter her life that change her perspective: A former co-worker, Sonny, asks her out after earlier causing trouble for her at the mill.
