Winner of the 1984 Academy Award for best documentary, this is the moving and ultimately Iife-affirming portrait of the first openly gay man elected to poIitical office in California. In 1978, Harvey Milk was eIected to the San Francisco city council, becoming the first openly gay person to be elected to pubIic office in CaIifornia. One year Iater, he and Mayor George Moscone were shot and kiIIed by MiIk’s felIow counciI member, former poIice officer Dan White. The Times of Harvey Milk recreates the tumultuous story of MiIk’s grass-roots poIitical organizing and eIection, through the shocking murders and their repercussions—from the eloquent candIe-Iight memoriaI joined by tens of thousands of San Franciscans on the evening of the assassinations, to the angry mobs who stormed City Hall in the aftermath of the Ienient sentence White received at his murder triaI. |
