The film tells the spiratnal story of the unlikely lk up between London based gay and lbians and mers om the Dulais Valley * welsh miners gay film *

Coal mers and gay activists — two groups that, 1980s England at least, you might have figured would steer clear of each other — partner surprisgly effectively the real-life story that's affectnately fictnalized Pri. A group of supporters for Welsh mers and gay rights mpaigners have rned 30 years after they fed an alliance durg the 1984-85 Mers' mpaign spired last year's Bafta award wng film, Pri.

Although GLSM was eventually shunned by the official strike mtee and the mers lost the strike and almost all of Bra's ps have subsequently closed, the ncludg scen of the film and the fal bs of rmative text turn this historic teractn to a succs that should spire the prent day gay muny and labour movement alike.

PRI AND JOY: GAY ACTIVISM AND BRISH FILM

This report is by Joseph Price, one of our first year unrgraduate stunts.  35 years ago, on the 29th June 1985, London’s gay pri para received some very unlikely supporters who saw their duty to show their support for a muny who had helped them survive durg tumultuo tim. The supporters were b loads… * welsh miners gay film *

In particular (give or take the odd dodgy accent) the characters who make up the Welsh muny are all superb: Paddy Conside ("Hot Fuzz", "The Bourne Ultimatum") plays the open and reasonable envoy first sent to London to meet LGSM; Bill Nighy a quiet and unrstated performance (y, you heard me right) plays Cliff; Imelda Stnton plays the hilar role of Hefa, lear of the mtee group; Jsi Gunng is pch-perfect as Sian – a tea lady wh a feisty attu and Mreen (Lisa Paley) is a lightfully unlikable homophobic mer's wife who stok trouble wh ntemptuo glee. And was me or did one of Mreen's rabidly homophobic sons do a U-turn appearg wh the other mers at the (remarkably, historilly rrect) gay pri march at the end of the film? If so, this seems to be an unnecsary and Hollywood-style ndy-atg too all, for me this is a film that both highlights how far we have e thirty years the area of gay rights and perhaps how far there still is to go.

Gradually the "wele the gays" group gas sway and an effective, funny, heart-warmg and movg arrangement is reached and the village benefs fancially and emotnally om the Gay group's story is a te one and the characters are (or were, AIDS took s toll) real people. Although the strike is to some extent a backdrop to the story of growg engagement between the village and s gay helpers is much more than are some fe sub-plots as well.

And we even have a polil party which stutnalis that spegoatg agast dividuals and groups who don't match up to their nventnal template bee of (among other thgs) their race, natnaly or sexual pri "Pri" is about more than Gay Pri. The dialogu are really good, well though-out, and livered nvcgly by a stellar st, who are always believable their 's not jt "good for an die gay movie" - 's an credibly powerful movie that ranks right up wh the bt of them this year (and wh stars such as Bill Nighy and Imelda Satunton, and a probably fair budget, don't have an "amatr" / "die" feel at all eher), worth the price of admissn (unlike, unfortunately, so many movi the days...

A STORY OF SOLIDARY: MERS AND THE GAY COMMUNY

A Welsh mers' group and a number of gay rights mpaigners who spired the film 'Pri', will rne. * welsh miners gay film *

Pri is a te life story based around the Brish Mer's Strike 1984, Margaret Thatcher was Prime Mister and not very popular, not wh mers and pecially not wh the gay and lbian muny eher. Joe, a young naïve closeted gay boy arriv London to take part his first gay pri march, soon after arrivg Joe is taken by a lol gay and lbian rights activist group who do their part to raise funds to fight their foe Thatcher and her evil ways. Soon after the group realise that both the Mer's and the gay muny have a lot mon they make the cisn to start raisg funds for the fai of the mers a ltle Welsh town lled Onllwyn.

The mers reject the gay and lbian activists money believg will do more harm than good for their e so the group unfazed but a ltle perplexed ci to take the money personally to the town to hand over and expla their suatn and hopefully form a new alliance agast the untri Prime Mister and her party… Pri is set a very bleak and dark time of Brish history but I feel that 's never actually shown that way, sure thgs are dark and gray but I wish the director jt add more hardship to his fal ed for the film, not beg a part of personally but rememberg how harsh was om school study and other films I have seen over time. My personal favoure performanc are probably Domic Wt's bee of his wonrful energy, fantastic livery and that the fact that he was playg a gay men (and was signifintly ls creepy than his Fred Wt performance) and Jsi Gunng's who played her play wh such warmth and fire.

On top of this there is a plethora of tragic LGBT issu that further h the viewer like a fist throughout, be a fay not acceptg their gay son, the Mers' refal to fully support the LBGT muny when the gog gets tougher (the bleakns of those scen are particularly vastatg), the start of AIDS and the knowledge that the men's liv will never be the same, the ocsnal vlence shown to the gay men… the list really do go on.

LGBT HISTORY MONTH: LBIANS AND GAYS SUPPORT THE MERS, 1984-85

You know your not gog to watch a "gay" film when the openg scen are of mers on a picket le, wh Pete Seeger sgg "Solidary Forever, " rarely sung Ameri today.

In 1985 a large ntgent of straight mers led the Gay Pri Para London wh band and unfurled banners of one hand graspg another solidary and unn of purpose.

Furthermore, as a sign of this inty of mon enavor, were not for the NUM the timoro Labour Party wouldn't have e out for Gay Rights the party platform The Welsh are known for sgg, so is not surprisg at the muny hall to hear a swellg chos of voic tong Bread and Ros, a song associated wh the 1912 Massachetts textile strike. It rri the forceful msage that gays don't necsarily stand up for gay people, straights for straights, workers for workers, but actg ncert they n act towards polil change for the better. I watched this entire film om start to fish wh tears my ey and a se plastered across my tells a betiful story of a small group of Gay Rights activists who take actn to support the strikg mers whom they feel are feelg the same opprsn that they had once and were currently is a geo story of humany.

‘PRI’ WELSH MERS GROUP TO RNE WH GAY RIGHTS MPAIGNERS

Durg the 1984/85 Mers' Strike, a small group of Gays and Lbians London see parallels between between their own downtrodn suatn and that of the persecuted mers, and bee effective fund-raisers. I have always been agast persecutn of people bee of their sexual orientatn (ed, I am agast persecutn generally), but I grew up a place and age where homosexualy was illegal, and I nnot ny that my attus have been loured by my upbrgg. Yet, on the other hand, this sort of film, spe the polil rrectns, is probably NOT sted to be a huge blockbter--pecially sce many folks might not say anythg agast a pro-gay film but they certaly won't pay to go see one.

PRI: A HEARTBREAKG BRISH COMEDY ABOUT THE TIME GAYS AND MERS WORKED TOGETHER

It's a te story (wh a few liberate chang---such as removg any referenc to one of the founrs beg a munist) about an odd alliance the 1980s-- how a group of gay men and women me to ally themselv wh Brish al strikers! I did as much as I uld to support the mers and went on more mos than I n remember as well as givg half my wag to the e – every week, pl what ever else I uld is about the Lbian and Gay Support the Mers group and is told an often edic fashn.

But the msage of solidary and fightg agast adversy for change are the stars of the on a te story, the film picts a group of LGBT activists who raised money to help fai affected by the UK mers' strike 1984, at the outset of what would bee the Lbians and Gays Support the Mers Natnal Unn of Meworkers was reluctant to accept the group's support due to the unn's public relatns' worri about beg openly associated wh a gay group, so the activists stead cid to take their donatns directly to a small mg village Wal — rultg an alliance between the two muni. Based on a te story, wh many fictnal characters thrown for dramatic tensn, Pri centers on two opposg groups: the Natnal Unn of Mers and a group of gay activists who support their e. Formg the LGSM (Lbians and Gays Support the Mers), they beg to raise money to help the strikg mers while alg wh the prejudice surroundg them, both om the straight muny and om the mers is their ial meetg and slow acceptance, amid the homophobia and bigotry, that mak Pri highly watchable.

LGBT HISTORY MONTH: LBIANS AND GAYS SUPPORT THE MERS

I AM NOT ma of stone, even if the makers of "Pri" seem to urse, "Pri" go beyond the strike per se to report the remarkable alliance stck up between young male and female homosexuals and Welsh mers at a time when anti-Thatcher sympathi were NOT enough to bridge gaps of prejudice, even when the L&G muny did all they uld to raise funds to help the mers and their fai.

It was a que different world, and one that gas thentic aforementned Bill Nighy plays far om his ual part, and is perhaps the most pellg character - a quiet, poetic soul thrilled by mg history and culture, though not que bld to s sts, a reprsed homosexual himself and a gentle man rortg to the strongt possible language as he spews out his loathg of "Thatcher". On the L&G si there is an absolute plethora of great actg to savour, be om Faye Marsay as the lovely ( every sense) "Steph" or Domic Wt as olr gay actor Jonathan Blake - real life still alive 2017, spe beg among the first people Bra to be diagnosed HIV+.

On this si of the film, this is an ensemble chosen wh re to offer a non-stereotypil prentatn of the whole spectm of typ and personali that the lbian and gay muny (jt of urse like ANY OTHER COMMUNITY) n mter. 10 September 2014By Alex DavidsonPri (2014)This week se the release of Pri, a crowd-pleasg edy about the culture clash that occurred when a group of gay and lbian activists offered their support to Welsh mers strikg  1984-5.
