Pride is a 2014 historical comedy-drama film written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus. Based on a true story, it depicts a group of lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by the British miners' strike in 1984,[3] at the outset of what would become the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign.
It was screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival,[4][5] where it won the Queer Palm award.[6] Writer Stephen Beresford said a stage musical adaptation involving director Matthew Warchus was being planned.[7]
The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and for the BAFTA for Best British Film, Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Imelda Staunton and for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.
