Pride

— A look at an historical moment when striking mineworkers and gay and lesbian Londoners forged an unlikely solidarity and friendship. “Pride” (DVD) is based on a true story from 1984, when such an alliance was much more unlikely than it might be today, and it is an uplifting film that escapes being preachy or sentimental, although it doesn’t shy away from an occasional tried-and-true formula to bring a lump to your throat. A good cast makes the film even more enjoyable and I’d recommend it as an enjoyable film to watch as well as a reminder of the similarity of our individual struggles and the beauty of our differences.
