In 1984, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher cracked down on the workers' movement with an iron fist, and the miners launched the largest strike in history. During the gay pride parade in London in the same year, a group of gays and lesbians decided to take the initiative to raise money for striking workers. But embarrassment followed: the unions were ashamed to accept their subsidies! The gay group decided to bypass the union and go straight into the workers' homes. They drove to a coal mining village in South Wales and brought money and supplies to working families. Since then, two groups from very different backgrounds have had an unexpectedly warm contact and formed the most unlikely alliance under the pressure of the government. Adapted from real events, Pride not only has the historical images of the labor movement in the 1980s, but also records the most touching page in the history of British gays. The transformation of the two groups from partial tolerance, from misunderstanding to alliance is full of laughter and tears, and it is moving. Pride won the 67th annual Cannes Film Festival queer Palm Award and the British Best Independent Film Award, and was nominated for the 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Comedy Film.
