A group (including Dominic West and Ben Schnetzer) of gay and lesbian activists, who know what it's like to face adversity, decide to step in to help the displaced families affected.īut since most miners' unions were not exactly eager to welcome gay and lesbian activists to their corner, the group decides to pick a small city in Wales and focus their efforts there.
In Pride, the 1984 UK miners' strike is in full force with the government announcing that it would be closing numerous pits and leaving tens of thousands without jobs, something that would assuredly cripple the communities who rely on mining to support them. After rave reviews following its premiere at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Pride opened in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2014, then in the United States on September 26, 2014. The British drama movie was directed by Matthew Warchus using a screenplay by Stephen Beresford. Pride movie quotes tell the true story of the 1984 UK miners' strike and the group of gay and lesbian supporters who came to their rescue.
