Its the summer of 1984 Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike.

At the Gay Pride March in London, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners. But there is a problem.

The Union seems embarrassed to receive their support. But the activists are not deterred. They decide to ignore the Union and go direct to the miners.

They identify a mining village in deepest Wales and set off in a mini bus to make their donation in person.

And so begins the extraordinary story of two seemingly alien communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership.

Queer Film Social with The Outhouse

Part of the Queer Film Social, this screening is one of a series of bi-monthly film events from Firstsite and The OutHouse, created in partnership with local LGBTQIA+ organisations.

Open to everyone, the programme celebrates queer visibility in cinema through thought-provoking films that explore a wide range of LGBTQIA+ stories and experiences.

After the screening, attendees are invited to stay for an optional social gathering to share perspectives, meet others and continue the conversation in a welcoming and inclusive space.
