THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK
Set in San Francisco within the Nineteen Seventies, THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK tells of the extraordinary rise to energy of a long-haired, homosexual digicam retailer proprietor from the Castro District who grew to become one of many metropolis’s most colourful and influential elected officers, in addition to one of many decade’s most distinguished leaders of the LGBTQ+ rights motion — that’s, till he was shot and killed at Metropolis Corridor by former police officer and fellow supervisor Dan White. Harvey Milk’s journey to that fateful day is recounted brilliantly via the course of the movie.
