When a hard-working Alabama factory supervisor discovers that for 20 years she’s been earning only half of what men with the same job are paid - only because she is a woman, she begins a long journey to fight for justice.
Starring Patricia Clarkson, "Lilly" is based on the remarkable life of fair pay activist Lilly Ledbetter, who stood up for equality all the way up to the Supreme Court, through the power corridors of Congress, and ultimately The White House. "Lilly" is an extraordinary journey of an ordinary woman who refused to accept the status quo, and underscores the transformative impact of one individual’s courage.
This is a movie about a working-class woman who saw a wrong that needed to be fixed. When she realized that she could no longer rectify the issue for herself, she became determined to help others, becoming the voice and the face of fair pay. She learned quickly, becoming an activist who changed the hearts and minds of Congress, a President, and then a law.
