Description

Harvey Milk was only forty years old when he changed lives forever as a gay rights activist operating out of San Francisco's Castro district, bringing to light political strife and activism within the gay community. Whether or not you support gay rights and politics, there's no reason not to love and respect the enlightenment that Harvey brought to the world through his unusual brand of politicking and revolution.

"Milk" brings Harvey's story to light, from when he left New York to open a camera shop in San Francisco - which quickly became a front for the still-struggling underground gay community - to running for city and state political seats in California, becoming the first man in the United States who came out of the proverbial closet to win an elected political office.

You'll come to love Harvey Milk and all of his quirks, and will laugh and cry along with his battles, both lost and won, as he trudges unfailingly along the path to stop anti-gay activists and campaigns and social conservatives who don't want to see the gay community brought to light. "Milk" warms the heart, and lets you feel the power, embarrassment and victory that Harvey felt along the way to the top.
