The Times of Harvey Milk

This Academy Award winning documentary tells of San Francisco's first gay official elected to the city council and his life leading up to his assassination in the late 1970's. Harvey Milk seems like nice, ordinary guy with a talent for self-promotion. For the most part, it's an even minded documentary that probably won't offend those who are against the kind of gay rights Milk was such a vocal supporter of. Only towards the end of the film do its biases begin to show. Generally, though, a well done documentary about a controversial public figure. I really don't have a lot to say about it.
