Pride, for instance, is set in 1984, and tells the story of a small group called LSGM, or Lesbians And Gays Support The Miners. Said group sparks into life in the midst of a Gay Pride march in London, when a 20-year old by the name of Mark Ashton (Ben Schnetzer) argues that miners have been as badly treated by the establishment as they have, and thus starts collecting money. As it turns out, quite a bit of money.

The problem? Once that money is raised, finding a community of miners willing to accept the cash is easier said than done. Manly miners taking money off a gay support group, in a period when prejudice - as the film highlights - was not rare? Mark, more than once, finds nobody wants to be linked with his LGSM group.

But eventually, his call is answered, and an unlikely link is formed with a small mining village in South Wales, eventually prompting a bus trip to visit the place. The inevitable culture clash that follows is superbly handled, but as it turns out, that's just part of what Pride sets out to explore. Laughs may be the top priority for large chunks of the movie, after all, but here's a film with a lot of ambition, and plenty to say.

For this is a piece of work with serious foundations. Watch Pride Online So we meet Joe, for instance, played by the excellent George MacKay, who's gradually being more open with his sexuality, but still finds himself living a lie at home. Meanwhile, Andrew Scott's Gethin is nursing a secret about his past, whilst the flamboyance of Dominic West's Jonathan has more to it than it seems as well. Pretty much every character here is facing something.

Things amongst the miners aren't much clearer, as Pride continues to layer in subplots. Against a backdrop of the AIDS scare of the early 80s, and the misunderstandings permeated by a notoriously terrifying television ad campaign (that's referenced in the film), it would be fair to say that not every miner in the village is keen to meet their new benefactors. That's just one of a list of problems they face themselves, though. Growing poverty, secrets and prejudices of their own, and a feeling of being ostracised by the state for standing up for what they believe in are just some of the issues never far under the surface.
