Academy Award winner Charlize Theron (Monster) teams with Niki Caro, the award-winning screenwriter & director of Whale Rider, for this fictionalized version of the first successful legal prosecution of a sexual-harassment case in the United States. After fleeing from her abusive husb&, young mother Josey Aimes (Theron) returns home to Minnesota, where she finds work in the iron mines. Josey refuses to endure the frequent sexual innuendoes & unwelcome physical contact that her male co-workers inflict on the women. When her complaints to the mine owners fall on deaf ears, Josey seeks a legal remedy, becoming the key plaintiff in a class action lawsuit that leads to the first sexual harassment ruling in United States judicial history.
