New Season of Torbay Film Club Starts 3rd September 2015 at 7.30

Come along to the new season of Torbay Film Club at St Matthias to see Pride which is inspired by an extraordinary true story. It's the summer of 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers is on strike, prompting a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists to raise money to support the strikers' families. Initially rebuffed by the Union, the group identifies a tiny mining village in Wales and sets off to make their donation in person. As the strike drags on, the two groups discover that standing together makes for the strongest union of all.

It is a funny and heartfelt comedy about the importance of solidarity, friendship and courage to fight for justice in our world - and thirty years after the events depicted in it, this real story continues to be relevant and inspiring today as a call to stand up together for equal rights.

Pride stars BAFTA-winning veteran actor Bill Nighy gained international recognition in 2003 thanks to his role as a Keith Richards-esque former rock star in the hit romantic comedy Love Actually.
