LILLY To provide a better life for her family, Lilly Ledbetter (Patricia Clarkson) spent the better part of two decades working up the ladder at an Alabama tire factory. But for the sake of her paycheck, she had to face a dehumanizing work environment plagued by harassment. As her retirement approaches, Lilly makes a startling revelation — the company has been paying her only half of what her male counterparts receive. Outraged, and with the support of her husband (John Benjamin Hickey) and a brilliant civil rights lawyer (Thomas Sadoski), Lilly's fight for justice takes her to the Supreme Court, Congress and all the way to the White House. Featuring tour-de-force performances and a heart-stirring love story at its center, LILLY follows the transformation of an ordinary citizen into the face of equal pay, illuminating the courageous, personal cost of activism. (Note adapted from Blue Harbor Entertainment.) DIR/SCR Rachel Feldman; SCR Adam Prince; PROD Kelly E. Ashton, Kerianne Flynn, J. Todd Harris, Julie Kaufman, Simone Pero, Jyoti Sarda, Christine Schwarzman, Allyn Stewart. U.S. 2024, color, 93 min. RATED PG-13

🎬 TONIGHT at 7: DC Labor FilmFest opens with Lilly—Patricia Clarkson stars as equal pay trailblazer Lilly Ledbetter. Q&A with producer Simone Pero follows.
