Directed by Matthew Warchus and written by Stephen Beresford, Pride (2014) tells the true story of how gays and lesbians in London joined forces with miners to enact political change.
This period drama, set during the Margaret Thatcher era, shows how aide from the group Lesbians and Gays Support Miners helped change government decision to close mines across the United Kingdom.
It also led to miners becoming allies of the LGBTQ movement for years to come.
In addition to its historical importance, Pride, through emotional performances and storytelling, shows how marginalized groups are stronger together, and how hearts and minds can be changed through common cause.
