Based on a True Story - Mark Ashton Gays and Miners, Same Fight!
Episode 3/8
Description
In 1984, the British miners' strike began. London gay activist Mark Ashton convinces his community to donate to support their fight against an uncompromising Margaret Thatcher. Between minors and gays, it is the clash of cultures but solidarity ends up erasing the differences.
After his work with LGSM (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners), Mark Ashton became involved in the Red Wedge collective: a group of musicians intended to sensitize young people to the politics and the theses of the Labor Party. He was also elected general secretary of the Young Communist League between 1985 and 1986.
Adapted for the cinema in the film "Pride" (2014) directed by Matthew Warcus.
