The story of California's first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk, who became an outspoken agent for change, seeking equal rights and opportunities for all. His great love for the city and its people brought him backing from young and old, straight and gay, alike – at a time when prejudice and violence against gays was openly accepted as the norm.

Features
Here's what's included: - "Hollywood Comes to San Francisco" - "Remember Harvey" - "Marching for Equality" - BD-Live features not yet accessible Fans intending to dig into the details behind the production of Milk, or even Harvey Milk's own historic life, might be a bit disappointed with what has been made available on this Blu-ray release of the film. Three featurettes are the only bonus features viewers will find on the disc, along with the promise of more features to come via BD-Live. "Hollywood Comes to San Francisco" is a well-polished, behind the scenes documentary that covers production, while featuring a slew of cast and crew interviews. "Remember Harvey" is a truncated overview of Mr. Milk's life; the interviews with his real-life compatriots adds legitimacy to the proceedings. Finally, "Marching for Equality" focuses on the film's protest march scenes, how they were filmed and the filmmaker's desires to stay true to the historical context of the actual events. Fortunately, all three featurettes are presented in high definition; beyond these three items, though; that's all folks!
