The only activist that I would come to befriend...

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2019)

While I've heard and read about the rumours surrounding Harvey Milk, I can't say that I'm stunned to say most were all false... This man, this inspiration to millions of people was so much larger than any movie could ever capture - this film comes the closest to it. I'm gay, with a Partner of 15 years and while our Conservative leanings differ somewhat, Harvey Milk is probably the only activist that I would be proud to call an extended member of my family. The risks that he took to combat the issues the ultimately gave rise to the rights of millions was selfless, heroic and dignified, opening eyes and hearts to the fact that we are all Human Beings, we're all different, and we're all beautiful, and that we can coexist in a way that is beneficial to each of us. Bigotry will always exist, unfortunately... But when we all work together toward a common goal, to promote a peaceful and loving World, we all gain from the work that is not always easy. But nothing easy is really worth the fight, and the fruits of those fights never last long. As Neil Peart is quoted saying, "Dedicated to the future, with honour to the past." A well done account of the lives of Harvey Milk and so many others whos contributions will forever be among us.
