Legends Podcast #631; Pride (2014)

*******SPOILER ALERT****** (MINOR SPOILERS FOR RANDOM ISH STARTING AT ABOUT 45MINS .. sorry beef forgot the alerts!!) Based on a true story, this 2014 film follows a group of gay and lesbian activists who lend their support to a Welsh mining village during the 1984-1985 miners' strike, uniting two very different communities in the process. Starring Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, Paddy Considine, Andrew Scott, George MacKay, Joseph Gilgun, and Ben Schnetzer, the film written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus received critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination. Set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher's Britain, the film incorporates historical details and enough recognizable British talent to appeal to the Harry Potter crowd, but didn't exactly strike paydirt at the box office.
