In the summer of 1984, amidst the backdrop of a fierce mining strike, a group of LGBTQ+ activists in the UK come together to support the struggling National Union of Mineworkers (NUM). This heartwarming and inspirational true story unfolds in the critically acclaimed film Pride (2014).
Led by charismatic young activist Mark, the group forms an organization called Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM). Despite facing initial skepticism and reluctance from the NUM, the LGSM manages to raise funds and sets out on a mission to help the mining communities in Wales.
As the unlikely allies unite, they embark on a remarkable journey of solidarity and friendship. The colorful and diverse members of the LGSM, who hail from London's LGBTQ+ community, travel to a small mining village in Wales to offer their support. While facing challenges and public hostility, they form unexpected, meaningful connections with the locals.
Pride expertly showcases the power of unity and the ability to transcend stereotypes, as LGBTQ+ activists and miners find common ground in their fight against oppression. The film captures both the hardships faced by the striking miners and the obstacles the LGSM encounters in their battle for acceptance.
With its captivating storytelling, brilliant performances, and a touching soundtrack, Pride is a must-watch film that celebrates the triumph of solidarity and the incredible impact of a shared cause.
