Pride: Movie directed by Michael Warchus


 

Pride depicts a group of lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by the British miners' strike in 1984, at the outset of what would become the " Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners" campaign. Pride tells an interesting story and shows the history of events in England in the 1980's .The film is comedic in parts due to the unlikely nature of friendships between the conservative mining community in Wales and the young Gay activists from London. 

The major theme of the movie is tolerance and acceptance.

Verdict: Unfortunately Pride contains A LOT of profanity and blasphemy, scenes of gay clubs and kissing, sex toy etc and unfortunately reinforces anti-marriage rhetoric: "Don't waste your mind being a wife and mother!" (Gay activist to character, Sian) Unfortunately for these reasons irishParents cannot recommend this movie for study at second level.
