Representation of National and Regional Identity. Looking at Pride (2014)



Media Representations of Representation of regional identity from Craig Osborne


PRIDE (2014)
A funny, emotional, and very British film, about the true story of a gay group that helps support a mining town through the strikes of 1984, and the history they made by doing so. Full of great performances in an all start British cast.
