watch this: milk.

"milk" documents the life and times of harvey milk, known as "the mayor of castro street", and his crusade as the first openly gay man to be elected to public office. a moving look into how a man admirably defeated negative public perceptions and brought homosexuality to the public eye. the movie never whitewashes harvey milk's bold and sometimes off-puttingly political personality - it tempers the somewhat controversial subject of milk's life with a respectful yet discerning point of view.
