Malcolm Ingram's spiritual companion piece to his acclaimed documentary Small Town Gay Bar, Southern Pride offers a fascinating insight into LGTBQ+ rights in a post-Trump landscape. Headstrong bar owner Lynn Koval, alongside a team of friends (and her own Republican-voting sister), endeavour against all odds to organise a Pride march in her local town. Meanwhile, in another part of the state, organisers of a Black Pride celebration are simultaneously striving to make a difference, despite the numerous setbacks that stand in their way. Emotionally textured and politically prescient, this inspiring tale of triumph over adversity addresses themes of leadership, struggle, division, community and race relations, ultimately offering a sense of hope in a world that can too often appear so hopeless.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
