ABOUT THE PROJECT

LOGLINE
Based on the remarkable true story of Lilly Ledbetter, LILLY chronicles how a poor, Alabama tire factory supervisor transforms into a national hero.

SYNOPSIS
Featuring tour-de-force performances by award-winning actors, Patricia Clarkson, John Benjamin Hickey, and Thomas Sadoski, Lilly’s singular goal is to lift her family into the middle class and for the sake of that paycheck, she endures a dehumanizing work environment plagued by pervasive harassment for two decades. But as 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 and a brilliant, civil rights lawyer, Lilly’s fight for justice takes her to the Supreme Court, Congress, and all the way to the White House. With a heart-stirring love story at its center, LILLY follows the transformation of an ordinary citizen into the face of an issue, illuminating the courageous, personal cost of activism. Based on a true story.

Release

After a successful festival tour October 2024 to March 2025 and a pre-release social impact screenings tour with leading gender equity organizations, LILLY will commence theatrical distribution April 2025.

We are currently accepting donations to expand the film’s distribution and for the LILLY Social Action Campaign.
