During the UK Miners Strike of 1984-85, an unlikely ally showed its support for the miners. Realizing that they shared common foes in Margaret Thatcher, the police and the conservative press, the London chapter of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, led by Mark Ashton, started to collect money to help the union workers. The movie Pride is based on these true events. Mark convinces his friends to persevere because the only people the homophobic British newspapers treated worse than gay people were the miners. “If anybody knows what this treatment feels like,” Mark says, “it’s us.” The film moves effortlessly from some pretty intense dramatic moments to hilarious scenes showcasing the contrasting lifestyles of the gay and straight worlds to vignettes of incredible poignancy. Pride leaves the viewer in the satisfied throes of all of those emotions: happy and sad, buoyed and chastened, and wondering, finally, what the world might look like if solidarity really could be forever.
