Bradford Queer Film Festival presents Striking With Pride: United At The Coalface

THIS EVENT IS INCLUDED IN A WEEKEND PASS AND A FRIDAY PASS

Bradford Queer Film Festival is delighted to present Striking With Pride : United At The Coalface.

Discover the unlikely alliance forged between the gay men and lesbians of London, and the striking miners of South Wales, between the 1984 and 1985 London Prides in this brand new Sky Original Documentary.

Celebrate one of the most unexpected and uplifting love stories ever, not between two people, but between two communities who  found common cause and compassion for each other in the face of immense challenges and changed the course of history for LGBTQ+ people in the UK.

As beloved as the film is, the real story behind the script is much richer and more powerful than you could ever imagine, and the legacy of these events is still felt to this day, forty years on since the 1984/1985 Miners’ Strike, Striking With Pride is a love letter to compassion, community and taking it to the streets.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist, Tayce, dons her iconic Welsh dragon look to narrate the film, telling the powerful tale to a group of children in a playful and poignant story time session which highlights the lasting impact this story has had on communities 40 years later.
