The fun stuff:

We will be filming PRIDE, a Golden Globe nominee, winner of multiple BAFTA awards, and a Cannes award winner among multiple other accolades. Pride is set in Britain in 1984, a country on the brink of social and cultural shifts. As a war raged on between the Thatcher government and the mining unions, hair was getting bigger, fashion more vibrant and music more electronic. Meanwhile, activism for LGBT rights continued to grow as London’s queer community staged regular demonstrations to raise awareness.

Among the many visionary young people trying to provoke positive change is Mark, the spirited leader of a small group of gay rights activists. When he notices the similarities between the treatment of the gay community and the striking miners by government and law enforcement, he is compelled to help. Mark convinces his reluctant friends to form the LGSM (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners); unsure if the mining community will be accepting of their support in the first place.

Determined to spread the message that no group struggling with prejudice and oppression should draw greater awareness over the other, he and his misfit friends form an unprecedented alliance with a small, Welsh mining community. What unfolds next surprises both groups as otherwise unlikely friendships are formed and misconceptions are made invisible – among most. Pride is a timely true story and welcome reminder that putting differences aside in the spirit of tolerance and peace is just as important today as it was in ’84.
