The film Pride that tells the true story of a group of gay activists travelling from London to a valley in west Wales to support striking miners in the mid 1980s has a particular resonance for Jeremy Miles, one of the two men vying to become the next Welsh first minister.
Miles grew up in the area, wondering about his place in the world as a gay young person as the strike raged around him. Four decades on, he represents the valley in the Senedd, the Welsh parliament, and goes into the leadership campaign with the backing of the National Union of Mineworkers.
