Pride is a funny, heartwarming, celebratory film about the real-life union between gay rights campaigners in London and striking Welsh miners. Set in the 80’s, depicting a time when the harsh policies of Margaret Thatcher’s government made insurgents out of the least likely, crossing societal divisions of class, race, gender and sexual identity, when politically the only side to be on was – any side but Thatcher’s side. Throw into the mix a stonking 80’s soundtrack (The Smiths, Billy Bragg), wall-to-wall quiffs, Levis and Doc Martin boots and let the fun begin.
