Review #2: The Times of Harvey Milk

The Times of Harvey Milk is a documentary on the life and work of politician Harvey Milk. The documentary touched upon early in his life, and his beginnings as he first started to be involved in politics. Showing some of his childhood and teenage years was a great way to show how his background contributed to his adult years. Speaking about his work as a Supervisor, the documentary showed many of the testimonies of the people surrounding him, that were benefited by Harvey's work. The documentary is successful at proving the audience with a variety of people close to Harvey, as they spoke about their relationship with him, and how the hard work of Harvey made a difference not only in San Francisco, but in the country as well. The ending was very emotional as it showed the impact that Harvey's death had on many people. Overall, this documentary had all the elements needed in order to present a touching, yet informative overview of the life of what many people considered a hero.
