Gay rights campaigner Harvey Milk became San Francisco City Council's first openly gay man elected to public office in 1978. Soon afterwards he was shot dead by fellow councillor and demented homophobe Dan White. This documentary was doing the rounds in London cinemas in 1985 and it chronicles Milk's life with heart warming comments from his friends, fellow workers and people that knew him closely. This is a fitting tribute to one of my all time heroes.

Thought provoking- I was so moved by the Gus Van Sant's film 'Milk' that I immediately went out to buy this which I heard was the inspiration and I was really taken by it- this is a moving tribute to the legendary political figure and great man, Harvey Milk. The recording of Dan White's confession was chilling and emotional, as were the selected clips of Harvey's public appearences. I really reccommend this documentary- it's interesting and factual and explained a lot of what (I decided afterwards) I needed to know.

I didn't know anything about Harvey Milk when I got this video - I though this was the Sean Penn film. But I watched it and it was a wonderful story about progressive politics. How a man blazed a trail in his community and shook up American politics. Loads of fascinating footage, an unvarnished portrait of the man and a shocking denouement, which is bizarre and disturbing. You don't have to be gay to enjoy this amazing documentary.

Better than milk
I did not like the Sean penn version...I like documentaries and this delivered. It was a much better viewing experience than the Oscar nominated film.
