Herring ready for the Spring Magazine and Canadian Labour International film Festival co-presentation of PRIDE. A FILM ABOUT WHAT really means.

12/05/2024

Spring Magazine

Join Spring Magazine and the Canadian Labour International Film Festival for this special Pride Month-screening of the award-winning 2014 film, Pride.

Pride tells the inspiring true story of Le****ns & G**s Support the Miners (LGSM), a q***r solidarity campaign in England that built support for miners and their families in South Wales during the Great Miners’ Strike of 1984-85.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike, and the 10th anniversary of the release of the film Pride.

Help us mark both milestones at the film screening and discussion.

Following the film, join us at a reception where Mike Jackson, a co-founder of LGSM, will headline a Q&A about his involvement in the strike, the impact of the solidarity forged between LGSM and the striking miners, and lessons for today’s movements.

6:30 PM: Doors Open
7:00 PM: Intro to film by invited guests
7:20 PM: Film screening
9:00 PM: Reception, featuring Q&A with Mike Jackson, founding member of LGSM
