‘Mother’s Pride’ is a comedy drama about a failing pub, a divided community and a grieving family whose lives are changed by brewing real ale and entering the Great British Beer Awards!
Despite once being the lifeblood of many communities, tens of thousands of pubs and breweries across Britain have closed down since the 1970s, with thousands more falling victim to Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions. Now, leading British filmmakers Meg Leonard and Nick Moorcroft who made ‘Fisherman’s Friends (one of the most successful British independent films of the past decade) have taken inspiration from the near loss of their own community pubs to produce a comedy feature film that they describe as “a love-letter to family, community, real ale and Britain’s forgotten rural traditions”. Its great British cast includes Mark Addy (‘The Full Monty’), Martin Clunes, Miles Jupp and Josie Lawrence.
