Based on true events in England during the 1984 miners strike which Margaret Hatcher was Prime Minister. The story of a group of Lesbians and Gays collected money to fund the miners of a small Welsh town during the strike. A very good…

Well done telling of the historical and true alliance initiated by the London group "Lesbians and Gays SUpport the Miners" to support the miners during the brutal attack of the union by Margaret Thatcher and the police during the 1985…

Great way to learn about gay and lesbian fight for equality. We were simply men and woman who happened to be homosexual aka gay wanting to live peacefully in the world. None of us hide behind a long string of meaningless initials. We…

Beautifully told without veering into being maudlin! As a straight ally, the ending march brought tears to my eyes. The writer crafted compelling, engaging characters who also had the difficult job of portraying real people. There are…

6 stars, one of the best historical movies I have ever seen. It captures a truly beautiful moment in humanity. I never thought that I would be on the same team as coal miners.

A true jem of a movie, laughing and crying at the same time. I got the most out of it with closed captioning on, the accents were a bit to much for me

Really enjoyable, funny, historical, educational, and a bit sad. Nice to see what happened in the U.K. in the mid 1980's.

An important, very enjoyable movie that teaches us about a piece of history that we all are better for knowing. It also calls attention to the very beginning of the AIDS epidemic, which many young adults have no context or memory of. It…

In the spirit of recent English feel-good movies Matthew Warchus’ effervescent little dramedy, based on actual headlines, milks much warmth and humour from its central theme of two opposing cultures coming to understand one another. The…

In the tradition of, well, loads of English movies, "Pride" is gentle, witty, and heartfelt. It's about a small group of Gay and Lesbian activists who want to support the striking miners, struggling under Thatcher. Their offer to help is…

A great British dramedy about how lesbians and gay men fought to support the rights of the striking Welsh coal miners in 1984 when everyone else turned their back on them. It was a tumultuous time when bigotry was allowed to bloom untamed.…

Subtitles are good size, white with no background. Highly recommend. Uplifts the spirit, too bad we didn't have a fraction of the empathy in this true story.

A group of LGBTQ activists decide to support striking mine workers in mid-80's UK while trying to achieve their own social acceptance. The film is filled with both failure and success, & ultimately provides us with the outcomes of some of…

Glad I trusted the ratings and reviews. Its truly a delightful uplifting movie. It won me over with its storyline, acting and directing. No special effects or superheros needed. What a breath of fresh air! Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Funny and moving at the same time. Outstanding photography. Great soundtrack. I watched it twice and will probably request it again.

Best movie I've seen in a long time! Wonderful, thoughtful, intelligent and funny. The music was also a treat for the ears (who doesn't like the music from 1984?). Highly recommended. Also watch the true story in the special features.

Excellent movie ~ we need more groups like the LGTB. People helping people just because they care ♥ I wish other countries would watch this movie & be inspired to want to help & not hurt others :)
