Striking With Pride: United at the Coalface is a brand-new Sky Original feature documentary, exploring the unlikely alliance forged between the gay men and lesbians of London, 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 and changed the course of history for queer people in the UK.
As beloved as the film is, the real story behind the script is much richer and more powerful than you could ever imagine, and the legacy of these events is still felt to this day, forty years on since the 1984/1985 Miners’ Strike.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist, Tayce, dons her iconic Welsh dragon look to narrate the film, 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 later.
Hear from the team
We had a great experience working with Sky Post Production on Striking With Pride. We were up against a really tight TX deadline so we had to turn the film around in post very quickly. The team at Sky Post Production managed the process brilliantly and really went the extra mile. They were a pleasure to work with throughout and we’re so pleased with how the finished film looks and sounds.
