Celtic Society and Pride Alliance Share Pride


On Thursday, 19 March at 6 p.m. in 12-129, please join Celtic Society and Pride Alliance for a screening and discussion of the 2014 film PRIDE.

“PRIDE 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” (Amazon.com).

Light refreshments will be served.

Throughout the spring semester, you can catch screenings and discussions of a number of Celtic-related films. Each is free, is open to the community, begins at 6 p.m., and takes place in 12- 129:

16 April                      CHASING THE DEER (Scotland)
7 May                         SONG OF THE SEA (Ireland)
