Southern Pride (2017): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2017, Southern Pride is a notable film directed by Malcolm Ingram, running about 88 minutes.

What it’s about. 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.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.5/10, Southern Pride has proved divisive with audiences.
