Pride (DVD, 2014) Region 4.

Based on an incredible true story, Pride is a film about two seemingly

opposite communities who form a surprising and ultimately

triumphant partnership.

Set during the Thatcher era, the Welsh mining community struggle

to make ends meet during the 1984 miners' strike. In London, a

group of gay and lesbian activists decide to raise money for the

miners in solidarity. The group call themselves 'LGSM' - Lesbian and

Gays Support the Miners - and approach the Union of Mineworkers

to pledge their support. But there is a problem - the Union seems

unwilling to accept their help. Undeterred, the LGSM members single

out a small mining village to make their donation in person.

A terrific ensemble cast, including Bill Nighy (Love Actually) and

Imelda Staunton Vera Drake), portray the real people who stood up

and fought for their place in society. A rousing British crowd-pleaser

in the spirit of Billy Elliot and The Full Monty, Pride is a funny, affandi

and truly inspiring film.
