Glasgow Artists’ Moving Image Studios are hosting a screening of The Proud Valley in Queen’s Park Arena as part of the Govanhill International Festival and Carnival.

The Proud Valley is a tale of local activism set in a Welsh mining village. Emlyn Parry (Simon Lack) leads a local miner's choir. Upon discovering the beautiful singing voice of David Goliath (Paul Robeson), Parry immediately grants him a job in both the mine and the choir. Parry hopes to win a national choir meet on the strength of Goliath's virtuosity, but an unfortunate accident suddenly closes the mine, throwing the entire village into jeopardy. Just when things seem like they can't get worse, World War II breaks out.
