MILK

MILK Movie (2008)

The story of Harvey Milk, and his struggles as an American gay activist who fought for gay rights and became California's first openly gay elected official.

Using flashbacks from a statement recorded late in life and archival footage for atmosphere, this film traces Harvey Milk's career from his 40th birthday to his death. He leaves the closet and New York, opens a camera shop that becomes the salon for San Francisco's growing gay community, and organizes gays' purchasing power to build political alliances. He runs for office with lover Scott Smith as his campaign manager. Victory finally comes on the same day Dan White wins in the city's conservative district. The rest of the film sketches Milk's relationship with White and the 1978 fight against a statewide initiative to bar gays and their supporters from public school jobs.

Loved this movie!! It's just sad, that people STILL treat people the way Harvey Milk was treated!! What happen, to treating with respect, love and dignity!

I don't agree with people who judge other's based on s*xual orientation, gender, race, ect... Watch the movie, and learn from it.

You said it better than I could, unigwa. Problem is, those who think that way are the least likely to watch it. They don't wish to better themselves.
