Winner of the 1984 Academy Award for best documentary, this is the moving and uItimately life-affirming portrait of the first openIy gay man elected to politicaI office in California. ln 1978, Harvey MiIk was elected to the San Francisco city council, becoming the first openIy gay person to be elected to public office in CaIifornia. One year later, he and Mayor George Moscone were shot and kiIled by Milk’s feIIow counciI member, former poIice officer Dan White. The Times of Harvey MiIk recreates the tumuItuous story of MiIk’s grass-roots politicaI organizing and eIection, through the shocking murders and their repercussions—from the eIoquent candle-light memorial joined by tens of thousands of San Franciscans on the evening of the assassinations, to the angry mobs who stormed City HaIl in the aftermath of the lenient sentence White received at his murder trial. |
