The Times of Harvey Milk

The Times of Harvey Milk (1984), documentary. Moving documentary about Harvey Milk, the first gay supervisor elected in San Francisco, and his assassination (along with mayor George Moscone) by clean-cut, respectable supervisor Dan White. In the aftermath of the killings, the documentary follows White's trial; he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and served only five and a half years in prison. Although this bare-bones DVD has no subtitles and no closed captions, I was able to hear everything clearly. This movie won the Oscar for Best Documentary in 1984. Grade: B+
