His life changed history. His courage changed lives. Sean Penn stars in this stirring celebration of Harvey Milk, a true man of the people. Based on the inspiring true story of the first openly gay man elected to major public office, this compelling film follows Milk's powerful journey to inspire hope for equal rights during one of the least tolerant times in the history of U.S.

I was somewhat disappointed by Milk, given the plaudits its received since last year. Based on a remarkable true-life story, I found the voice over at times interfering and the first half of the film plods along, when it really needs focusing. Things certainly pick up when Harvey becomes successful in local politics yet it remains a mixed bag. The production team did a great job capturing the San Francisco era and his legacy shows how much we’ve developed as a society since.
