To help combat the winter blues, New Dawn’s Films for Change presents the hilarious and inspirational comedy-drama Pride.
Set in the summer of 1984 – Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike. At the Gay Pride March in London, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners. But there is a problem. The Union seems embarrassed to receive their support.
But the activists are not deterred. They decide to ignore the Union and go direct to the miners. They identify a mining village in deepest Wales and set off in a mini bus to make their donation in person. And so begins the extraordinary story of two seemingly alien communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership.
The event is “pay what you can” but we suggest $10 or $5 for unemployed, underemployed, non-waged, and students. This will help offset some of our costs.
