Bomb Girls

BOMB GIRLS is a dramatic series about the experiences of a group of Canadian women at an Ontario bomb factory during World War II. When Gladys Witham (Jodi Balfour), an engaged socialite with a rebellious streak, goes to work at Victory Munitions, she finds herself surrounded by strong working women like Betty McRae (Ali Liebert), the flirtatious Vera Burr (Anastasia Phillips), and Edith McCallum (Lisa Norton), all of whom question her motives for being there. Also joining the "Blue Shift" is newcomer Kate Andrews (Charlotte Hegele), an innocent girl with a lovely voice who is hiding from an abusive past. Keeping them in check on the factory floor is Lorna Corbett (Meg Tilly), who tows a strict line in order to protect them from the dangers of the job, while tolerating the scorn of management and the impact of the war on her family. It isn't easy, especially when they're surrounded by men like Antonio Cupo (Marco Maretti), who spend as much time insulting the women as they do bomb making. Despite all of this, the women work hard to support the war effort, and try to create a life for themselves that offers them choices and independence.
