Crystal Lee Sutton Collection: Norma Rae

The Crystal Sutton Collection

Norma Rae

In an Oscar-winning performance, Sally Field is unforgettable as Norma Rae, the Southern mill-worker who revolutionizes a small town and discovers a power in herself she never had. Under the guidance of a New York unionizer (Ron Leibman) and with increasing courage and determination, Norma Rae organizes her fellow factory workers to fight for better conditions and wages.

Based on a true story, Norma Rae is the mesmerizing tale of a modern day heroine.
