BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. — In honor of LGBT Pride Month, the film “Pride” will be screened at 5:30 p.m. Monday, June 11 at the Rockingham Library.
“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.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, call (802) 463-4270, visit rockinghamlibrary.org, or stop by the library at 65 Westminster St., Bellows Falls.
