Pride - Making Of (Featurette)

In Select Cities September 26

PRIDE is inspired by an extraordinary true story. It’s the summer of 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers is on strike, prompting a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists to raise money to support the strikers’ families. Initially rebuffed by the Union, the group identifies a tiny mining village in Wales and sets off to make their donation in person. As the strike drags on, the two groups discover that standing together makes for the strongest union of all.

This was one of the most life affirming films I have ever seen.

My father was a miner in the Swansea Valley at this time. This film is a very moving testament to how bridges can be build. How ironic that Margaret Thatcher gathered together these communities which ultimately meant a support for equality- for all the people which she and her goverment stood against.

As both an lgbt person and a member of a working class family this movie touches me in a way most cannot. Two groups that were so mistreated then, and are still mistreated now. It's such an important film, I wish the story of LGSM was told more.

the director of this film was able to create and capture moments using facial expressions of the characters like I've never seen done. Effing brilliant, tells a good part of the story and sooo entertaining.

When I first watched this film I loved it so much much I decided to watch it again the next day and I am not ashamed to say that I am in love with it, its inspiring, its a true story which makes it interesting and its a comedy which is just a roller coaster of emotions

Ben Schnetzer's accent was spot on. I absolutely couldn't believe he's American at first.

Brilliant film, based on a true story. I've watched it several times and I love it. Mark is my favourite character - full of life, inspiration, wit and energy. The others are fantastic too - what a thoroughly decent group of human beings the LGSM were 🙂
