Pride (2014 film)

Upon watching the news about the Welsh miners' strike of 1984, gay activist Mark Ashton realises that the police have stopped harassing the gay community because they're harassing the miners instead. He spontaneously arranges a bucket collection for the miners during the Gay Pride Parade in London. Encouraged by the success, he founds "Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners". Among its first members are 20-year-old closeted student Joe Cooper and an older gay couple, Jonathan Blake and Gethin, whose bookshop, Gay's the Word, is used as headquarters.

LGSM faces homophobia from the mining community and anger from gay people who have been mistreated by miners in the past. Frustrated by the lack of response, the activists instead decide to take their donations directly to a small mining village named {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}} in Wales. Dai Donovan, spokesperson for the miners in {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}}, comes to London to meet their new allies. Though he is startled to find out that "L" and "G" stand for "Lesbian and Gay", he expresses his gratitude in a short, eloquent speech at a gay bar, and the cause takes off.

In {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}}, the Women's Support group, led by Hefina Headon and Maureen Barry, debate whether to invite LGSM to the village as a thank you; Hefina, and her supporters, favour gratitude from all camps, whilst Maureen's supporters consider the gays abhorrent. First-time volunteer Siân James speaks up fiercely in favour of inviting LGSM and is asked to join the committee.

When LGSM arrives in {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}}, they are met with a frosty reception and Maureen leads a walkout after Mark's speech to the village. However, the next day Jonathan shares with {{lang|cy|Siân|italic=no}} his knowledge of harassment laws and abuse of police power; the fiery {{lang|cy|Siân|italic=no}} marches down to the police station to demand the release of illegally-detained miners.

Many grateful miners acknowledge LGSM's role in their release, relations begin to thaw and the two communities quickly become close. Finding herself on the outside, Maureen contacts a tabloid about the situation in {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}}. The resulting story humiliates The National Union of Miners, who call a vote on whether to accept LGSM's support.

Back in London, Mark declares that they will embrace the labels in the tabloid and throws an enormous concert at the Electric Ballroom, headlined by Bronski Beat and attended by Dai, Hefina and a number of the women from the village. Mark is badly shaken when he encounters a former lover who implies that he, the lover, is dying of AIDS. The "Pits and Perverts" festival raises thousands of pounds for {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}}, but the Union vote moves forward three hours without notice, and without Dai or Hefina, Maureen's camp succeeds in voting to refuse further help from LGSM.

Disillusioned and haunted, Mark abandons LGSM. Gethin, who initially refused to participate due to his own experience coming out in a mining village, attempts to campaign alone and is violently assaulted and hospitalised.

Joe is outed when his parents find photos from {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}} and they keep him away from the group.

In March 1985, the Miners' Strike is over. The miners of {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}} gather to go back into the mines. Joe sees the news and sneaks off to {{lang|cy|Onllwyn|italic=no}} to show solidarity, where he encounters Mark. Mark confronts Joe about hiding his activism and homosexuality from his parents. When {{lang|cy|Siân|italic=no}} drives him to London in the LGSM-donated van, he learns of Gethin's condition. Joe decides it is time to leave home and has her drive him directly up to his home, embarrassing his conservative mother.

On the day of the 1985 Gay Pride Parade, Mark returns to the group and apologises for abandoning the cause. He leads LGSM to the Parade, where they are joined by hundreds of miners in a show of solidarity.

The closing scenes reveal that consequently the Labour Party incorporated rights for gays and lesbians in their party programme due in part to a massive vote lodged by the National Union of Mineworkers, that {{lang|cy|Siân|italic=no}} was elected to Parliament, that Jonathan still lived, despite being one of the first people in Britain to be diagnosed with HIV, and that Mark Ashton died of AIDS just two years later at the age of 26.

In the UK, the film received a 15 certificate by the British Board of Film Classification for "occasional strong language" and two scenes of a sexual nature, one scene in a gay club where men are depicted "wearing 'bondage' clothing", and a comedic scene where some of the characters discover a pornographic magazine in a bedroom. The MPAA gave the film an R rating, the nearest US equivalent to the UK's 15 certificate. (This reflects common practice; the British Film Institute states that "most" 15 certificate films are R-rated in the US.{{cite web|last1=Brooke|first1=Michael|title=The US Ratings System|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/594087/|website=BFI Screenonline|access-date=15 January 2015|archive-date=19 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161219153305/http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/594087/|url-status=live}}) The Independent published an article calling the MPAA's rating "draconian",{{cite news|last=Burrell|first=Ian|title=Pride: Are US film censors pandering to homophobia?|work=The Independent|publisher=Independent Print Limited|date=30 September 2014|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/pride-are-censors-pandering-to-homophobia-9765935.html|access-date=3 October 2014|archive-date=2 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141002130855/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/pride-are-censors-pandering-to-homophobia-9765935.html|url-status=live}} alleging that the R rating's higher age restriction ("no unaccompanied under-17s") was specifically applied due to gay content.

This error was corrected a few days later.

In January 2015, it was reported that the cover of the US DVD release of the film made no mention of the gay content. A standard description of "a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists" was reduced to "a group of London-based activists", and a lesbian and gay banner was removed from a photograph on the back cover.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-30679455 "Gay banner removed from Pride DVD cover in US"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180727051944/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-30679455 |date=27 July 2018 }}, BBC News, 5 January 2015

The absence of any mention of Mark Ashton's communist beliefs in the film, despite his position as the leader of the youth branch of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), has become a point of contention for his surviving friends. Fellow communist activist and a close friend of Mark Ashton, Lorraine Douglas, accused the film of having "glossed over Mark's politics and said nothing about the fact he subsequently became General Secretary of the YCL", the youth wing of the CPGB.{{Cite book|last1=Meddick|first1=Simon|title=Red Lives: Communists and the Struggle for Socialism|last2=Payne|first2=Liz|last3=Katz|first3=Phil|publisher=Manifesto Press Cooperative Limited|year=2020|isbn=978-1-907464-45-4|location=UK|pages=7}}

Pride was met with critical acclaim. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 92% of critics surveyed gave the film a positive review, based on a sample of 127 reviews, with an average score of 7.6 out of 10; the consensus on the film reads: "Earnest without being didactic and uplifting without stooping to sentimentality, Pride is a joyous crowd-pleaser that genuinely works."{{Rotten Tomatoes|pride_2014|Pride (2014)}} Metacritic gave the film an aggregate score of 79/100 based on 36 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".{{Metacritic film|title=Pride}}

Geoffrey Macnab, of The Independent, noted how Pride followed on from other British films such as The Full Monty, Brassed Off and Billy Elliot as "a story set in a Britain whose industrial base is being shattered".{{cite news|last=Macnab|first=Geoffrey|title=Pride, film review: Two tribes and plenty of nostalgia in this feelgood hit|work=The Independent|publisher=Independent Print Limited|date=12 September 2014|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/pride-film-review-two-tribes-and-plenty-of-nostalgia-in-this-feelgood-hit-9727720.html|access-date=14 September 2014|archive-date=13 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140913205301/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/pride-film-review-two-tribes-and-plenty-of-nostalgia-in-this-feelgood-hit-9727720.html|url-status=live}} Macnab, who gave the film a five-star review, praised the screenplay for combining "broad comedy with subtle observation", and noted that director Matthew Warchus "relishes visual contrasts and jarring juxtapositions" throughout the film.
