Got MILK?



One of my favorite films this year, MILK is the true story of Harvey Milk - the first openly gay elected politician in the United States.



Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin, James Franco, Alison Pill, and the rest of the cast are wonderful.  It is nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actor for Sean Penn.  More importantly, this is a story that feels very relevant today, as evident by the results of the past election.  


Here's the trailer.



There is also an amazing documentary called THE  TIMES OF HARVEY MILK.  Narrated by Harvey Fierstein, it won the Oscar for best documentary in 1985.  



You can watch this documentary (with commercial interruptions) for FREE here!
