@pscentral event 39: pride
"When you’re in a fight as bitter and as important as this one, against an enemy, so much bigger, so much stronger than you - well. To find out that you have a friend you never knew existed - It’s the best thing in the world."
Pride (2014) dir. Matthew Warchus
"She hasn't said one word to me in 16 years."
"And what about you? What words have you said to her?"
Pride 2014
Pride (2014)
Today, 23 May, in 2014, ‘Pride’ premiered, a joyful, queer movie celebrating the solidarity between the queer activist group Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, and striking miners in south Wales in the 1980s. If you haven’t watched the movie, you should definitely check it out, and if you have, check out our podcast where we talk about the history behind the film!

Every so often I need to rewatch Pride (2014) to remind myself that 1) solidarity can happen, SUCCESSFULLY, and 2) they had to manufacture drama for to movie because IRL everyone worked together so well it was narratively underwhelming, and 3) Jonathan Blake was the second person in Britain diagnosed with AIDS and he's still alive as of this writing. Also I cry EVERY time at the scene near the end with Cliff and Hefina. This is my favorite Imelda Staunton performance.

PRIDE (2014) dir. Matthew Warchus In 1984, after realizing that they share common foes in Margaret Thatcher, the police and the conservative press, a group of LGBT activists decide to raise money to support the National Union of Mineworkers during their lengthy strike. There is only one problem: the Union seems embarrassed to receive their help. Based on the real life Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign. (link in title)
