  • PRIDE SPECIAL: No Man Is An Island
    Jun 19 2025

    She's back - Siobhán Fletcher marks Pride month 2025 with a special documentary episode of Island Life.

    Back in 2023, we heard from the likes of Alan Shea and Hazel Hannan in our series 'A Brief History of Pride'.

    Now, a short verbatim documentary exploring the history of the Isle of Man leading up to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1992 has been released online.

    Directed by John Craine, and funded by BFI Doc Society, The Guardian and Isle of Man Arts Council, "No Man Is An Island" was primarily filmed here on the Island last year - and we went along to the set!

    In this episode, we hear more from members of the cast, producer Diarmuid Hughes, and find out the details on where to watch the film as part of the Island's first ever Pride film festival, which gets underway next week in Port St Mary.

    You can buy tickets to 'Pride on Screen' here - Port St Mary Business Association event tickets from TicketSource.

    And you can stream 'No Man Is An Island' here - No Man Is an Island: a British society and its historic push for gay rights | Pride | The Guardian
