This remarkable film, at once inspiring and hilarious,  is based on a real-life incident.   Britain, 1984: prime minister Margaret Thatcher is in power and Welsh miners, victimized by her harsh policies, are on strike. Sensing a common foe in Thatcher and the conservative press, a small group of gay and lesbians travel to Wales to offer support. Even when spurned by the Mineworkers Union, the gay group won’t back down, and an unlikely bond is born between straight miners and gay-rights activists, both of whom discover that standing together is the strongest union of all.
