I hope everyone’s gone out to see the phenomenal Milk, and I also hope that everyone’s going to have a fabulous time tonight with their friends and loved ones. But if you do get a chance, I recommend that you take a break and see the 1984 documentary, The Times of Harvey Milk, which sheds further light on the trial of his killer, Dan White, on the work and outreach efforts of San Francisco’s mayor George Moscone (also murdered by White), and provides loads of profound, moving archival footage, some of which Gus Van Sant used in his movie. Happily, the documentary is now up on Hulu:
About Girl w/ Pen
Girl w/ Pen, founded by Deborah Siegel, publicly and passionately dispels modern myths concerning gender, encouraging other feminist scholars, writers, and thinkers to do the same. The views expressed in posts are those of the columnists and do not represent Girl w/ Pen at large.

I saw Rob Epstein's wonderful documentary on Harvey Milk when it was first screened in the mid 1980s and now I've seen it again via Hulu. Deborah is right and I highly recommend seeing THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK when you have a chance.
