Pride 2: Solidarity Forever (2026)
The original banner may have gathered dust over the decades, but the message it carries is louder and more urgent than ever before. In Pride 2: Solidarity Forever, set forty years after the historic and unlikely alliance that moved a nation, the small Welsh village of Onllwyn faces a cold, modern threat. A massive, faceless corporate entity has initiated a hostile takeover, planning to transform their ancestral valley into an exclusive high-tech private estate, an act that would effectively erase the local heritage and the community’s way of life. Simultaneously, in the heart of London, a new generation of queer activists finds itself feeling increasingly disillusioned and disconnected, struggling against the hollow commercialization of their movement.
The spark for a new revolution is ignited when a fiery and determined young activist, portrayed by Florence Pugh, discovers the hidden archives of the original Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) movement. Realizing that the only path to victory lies in the power of intersectional unity, she journeys to the valleys of Wales to seek the wisdom of the legendary Cliff, played by Bill Nighy, and the indomitable Hefina, played by Imelda Staunton. These veteran organizers have become the steadfast guardians of the town’s history and spirit. Andrew Scott also returns in a deeply poignant role, serving as the vital emotional bridge between the struggles of the 1980s and the modern fight for social justice.
The film masterfully recaptures the infectious energy, sharp humor, and profound heart that made the original a beloved classic. As the flamboyant, tech-savvy city activists clash and then collaborate with the rugged, traditional valley locals once more, they uncover a timeless truth. While the enemies have evolved from the political figures of the past to the cold logic of corporate algorithms, the act of standing together in unwavering solidarity remains the most potent weapon in existence.
Filled with anthemic music, biting British wit, and tear-jerking moments of raw humanity, Pride 2: Solidarity Forever is a soaring celebration of community. It serves as a powerful reminder that solidarity is not merely a static chapter in a history book, but a living, breathing force capable of changing the world all over again.
