Eté 1984 - Alors que Margaret Thatcher est au pouvoir, le Syndicat National des Mineurs vote la grève. Lors de la Gay Pride à Londres, un groupe d'activistes gay et lesbien décide de récolter de l'argent pour venir en aide aux familles des mineurs en grève. Mais l'Union Nationale des Mineurs semble embarrassée de recevoir leur aide. Le groupe d'activistes ne se décourage pas. Après avoir repéré un village minier au fin fond du pays de Galles, ils embarquent à bord d'un minibus pour aller remettre l'argent aux ouvriers en mains propres. Ainsi débute l'histoire extraordinaire de deux communautés que tout oppose qui s'unissent pour défendre la même cause. (Pathé Films)

Funny in some places, serious in others.Pride tells a story about an event I knew nothing about until I saw The Imitation Game and found out what Great Britain did to Alan Turing. It is interesting that both of these movies, which are dealing with the discrimination of the homosexual minority in the UK, were released this year. Sometimes you have to drag out some skeletons from the closet. Too bad that for the entire two hours of the running time, the movie bored me terribly. I expected that this British clash of gays and lesbians with the local villagers would be far more brutal, ironic and funny. But that unfortunately wasn’t the case.

I had no idea what to expect from this movie, and I have to say that if I was expecting anything, it certainly wasn't this. A human drama, at times quite comedic, about how lesbians and gays tried to help the striking miners. The characters are simply excellent, and you will thoroughly enjoy it with them. The film challenges homosexual stereotypes, which is really great.
