Review #2 - The Times of Harvey Milk

The Times of Harvey Milk is about San Francisco's gay activist and super attendant, Harvey Milk. The documentary focuses on his life accomplishments and how they led to his devastating assassination. Milk was an extraordinary man who fought for what he believed in and encouraged people to follow through. His presence affected so many people that made him a remarkable person but he also had his enemies. This film demonstrates these aspects by showing interviews and images of people that surrounded and admired him. His passion and courage is what motivated people and opened up their eyes to equality that includes the gay community. Every campaign and protest he led that is shown is what built him up to the legend he is today. Even though he was murdered his memory continues to exist and is now celebrated globally on his birthday. This film has introduced me to Harvey Milk and the inspiration he is and that's what makes this movie so fascinating; it is definitely worth watching.
