Milk

In a powerful and poignant portrayal of a man who fought for equality in a time of great adversity, "Milk" tells the true story of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office. Set against the vibrant backdrop of San Francisco's Castro District in the late 1970s, the film follows Milk's journey from activist to politician, as he inspires others to join him in his fight for gay rights and challenges the entrenched homophobia of a city that was often hostile to his very existence.
