Staring Bill Nighy, Andrew Scott, Jessica Gunning & George MacKay.

"The true tale of how two very different communities came together in London and Wales during the lengthy U.K. miners’ strike of 1984-5 makes for an irresistible crowdpleaser in Pride, the sophomore feature from garlanded British theatre director Matthew Warchus. The story of the little-remembered Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners movement (LGSM) plays so many inspirational, feel-good notes, the only real surprise is that it’s taken three decades to be unearthed for cinematic purposes." - Variety

Inspiration came from photographs that were taken of the real LGSM and the events portrayed in the film. "These gave us a snapshot glimpse of the characters, their relationships and the contrast of lifestyle" says Simon Bowles.
