An all-star, award-winning ensemble cast is featured in the sensational new film “Pride”, including Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton, Bill Nighy, Dominic West and Paddy Considine. Critics and audiences are raving about the film calling it “brilliantly entertaining” (The New Yorker) and “an irresistible crowd-pleaser with infectious energy” (Variety).
“Pride” is inspired by an extraordinary true story. It’s the summer of 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers is on strike, prompting a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists to raise money to support the strikers’ families. Initially rebuffed by the Union, the group identifies a tiny mining village in Wales and sets off to make their donation in person. As the strike drags on, the two groups discover that standing together makes for the strongest union of all.
“Don’t try to resist! ‘Pride’ will make you cheer!” raves Vanity Fair. The Hollywood Reporter calls the film “warmhearted and enormously satisfying”, and Rolling Stone Magazine calls it “an emotional knockout!”
