Milk


Saw this Oscar nominated film yesterday with Helen and Paul. Excellent especially the central performance from Sean Penn who was just camp enough as Harvey Milk the first publicly gay man elected to public office in the US. Although I lived through these times and considered myself aware of things this was all new to me even all the stuff about Proposition 6 which is the central battle in the film. Was heartwarming about political activism and he was murdered before the rot set in.


Really well worth the trip.
