What happens in Pride from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In 1984, as headlines flare about the Welsh miners’ strike, Mark Ashton, a passionate gay activist, realizes a striking shift in how authorities police public life: the police have stopped harassing the gay community and are instead going after the miners. Seized by a mix of urgency and optimism, he spontaneously organizes a bucket collection for the miners during London’s Gay Pride Parade, and the idea blossoms into a lasting movement. Encouraged by the initial success, he launches Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM), a group that aims to bridge communities torn apart by fear and prejudice.
