on DVD and on demand sites such as iTunes and Amazon on Tuesday.
The film, set in the early 80s, tells
the true story of a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists
who travel to Wales to help support families struggling amid a miners
strike. The unionists and activists soon discover that together they
can stand taller.

succeed Kevin Spacey as the creative director of the Old Vic Theater
London, the film stars Dominic West (The Wire), Bill Nighy
(The Men's Room), Andrew Scott (Sherlock) and Imelda
Staunton (Harry Potter films). (Watch
