    A true twentieth-century trailblazer, Harvey Milk was an outspoken human rights activist and the first openly gay U.S. politician elected to public office; even after his assassination, in 1978, he continues to inspire disenfranchised people around the world. The Oscar-winning THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK, directed by Robert Epstein (THE CELLULOID CLOSET, PARAGRAPH 175) and produced by Richard Schimiechen, was, like its subject, groundbreaking. One of the first feature documentaries to address gay life in America, its a work of advocacy itself, bringing Milks message of hope and equality to a wider audience. This exhilarating trove of archival footage and heartfelt interviews is as much a vivid portrait of a time and place (San Franciscos historic Castro District in the seventies) as a testament to the legacy of a political visionary.
