Between London Pride 1984 & 1985 an unlikely alliance was forged between the gay men & lesbians of London & the striking miners of South Wales. Everyone loves a good love story & this is one of the most unexpected & uplifting love stories ever, not between two people, but between two communities who, seemingly worlds apart, found common cause & compassion for each other in the face of immense challenge & changed the course of history for queer people in the UK.
This feature documentary explores this remarkable tale, made famous by the film "Pride" 10 years ago. Everyone loved the film, but the real story behind the script is much richer & more powerful than you could ever imagine. The legacy of these events are still felt to this day, 40 years on since the 1984/1985 Miners' Strike. But this won't be like any other documentary about the Miners' Strike you'll watch this year...
Among other unique stylistic elements, drag queen Tayce will don her iconic Welsh dragon look to narrate the film, telling this powerful fable to a group of kids in a playful & poignant story time session, which will bring fresh meaning & relevance to the story through the perspective of this new generation.
