Milk (15)

Haunting biopic of the first openly gay man elected to public office in California, opening in 1970 New York City where Harvey meets the love of his life, Scott Smith. The couple moves to San Francisco and attempts to set up a camera shop, only to meet fierce resistance and prejudice from other shopkeepers. So Harvey mobilizes the local gay community and boycotts businesses, which dare to discriminate against people because of their sexuality. Weathering the inflammatory remarks of Anita Bryant and Senator John Briggs, Harvey encourages his campaign team led by manager Anne Kronenberg to never give up.
