Milk (2009)

Filmmaker Gus Van-Sant tells the powerful and inspiring story of Harvey Milk - the first openly gay elected politician in the US. Tired of hiding from himself, Harvey abandons his high-paying Wall Street job to come out of the closet and move to San Francisco's Castro district. There, his camera shop quickly becomes a social hub of tolerance for many who feel they have no place else to gather, disenfranchised by the era's narrow-mindedness. Harvey begins to speak for this silent majority - taking on bigoted businesses, unions and politicians and spreading his message of freedom and hope.
