Striking with Pride

Striking with Pride: United at the Coalface explores the unlikely alliance forged between London’s queer community and the striking miners of South Wales, between the 1984 and 1985 London Prides.  

Made famous by the 2014 BAFTA award-winning film Pride, this is one of the most unexpected and uplifting love stories ever, not between two people, but between two communities who – seemingly worlds apart – found common cause and compassion for each other in the face of immense challenges.  

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist Tayce dons her iconic Welsh dragon look to narrate the award-winning feature documentary, 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 on from the 1984/1985 Miners’ Strike.
