PRIDE – MOVIE NIGHT AT THE ODD FELLOWS
PRIDE! Realizing that they share common foes in Margaret Thatcher, the police and the conservative press, London-based gays and lesbians lend their support to striking coal miners in 1984 Wales.
This legitimately inspirational and thoroughly-feel-good movie is about an unusual but extraordinary slice of history involving the solidarity of a gay-and-lesbian activist group and the National Union of Mineworkers during the London strikes of the Thatcher era.
“This film moves effortlessly from some pretty intense dramatic moments to hilarious scenes showcasing the contrasting lifestyles of the gay and straight worlds to some vignettes of incredible poignancy. Pride is as heart-warming as it is a rousing call for radical resistance and solidarity between oppressed groups.”
