Pride film wins BAFTA award for outstanding debut
A film set in the South Wales valleys has won a BAFTA award for outstanding debut.
Pride - filmed in and around the Dulais Valley - is the true story of the unlikely alliance between the gay and lesbian community and striking miners in the 1980s.
Writer Stephen Beresford and producer David Livingstone scooped the award to rapturous applause at the Royal Opera House in London last night.
