The brilliant campaigns team at @savechildrenuk have started a campaign film club (kudos to @lilidunn21 for organising).

Simple idea - each week watch a different film on social change then discuss, so I'm going to get this thread going on what we watch.....

1/n

Week 1 - Pride. The true story of a group of lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by the British miners' strike in 1980s.

I can't watch it without crying a lot (this will become a theme!) it's a brilliant film...



2/n

Campaign lessons - the importance of solidarity, the role of unexpected alliance in change, and the power of shared action to change and challenge views and beliefs.
