The film describes the last eight years of the life of American politician Harvey Milk.
In 1977, he was elected a San Francisco city councilman, becoming the first openly gay man elected to a major public office in America. His victory is not just a victory for gay rights, he is building coalitions with representatives from across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union members, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of the concept of “human rights activist” among all demographics and became a hero to all Americans before his death in 1978. Gay rights activist, friend, lover, unifier, politician, fighter, icon, inspiration, hero. His life changed history and his courage changed the lives of many people. Academy Award winner Sean Penn stars as Harvey Milk directed by Academy Award nominee Gus Van Sant in MILK, filmed in San Francisco from an original screenplay by Dustin Lance Black and produced by Academy Award winners Dan Junks and Bruce Cohen .
