Milk is a 2008 film starring Sean Penn which tells the story of Harvey Milk, an American gay activist who became Calafornia’s first openly gay elected official.
His journey to office was far from easy and this film beautifully portrays Harvey’s struggle. The film is cleverly interspersed with actual footage from Harvey Milk’s campaign which add an almost documentary feel to the film.
Milk is a great watch and insight into the American gay rights movement, if you haven’t already seen it, go get it now!
