**Producer**: Richard Schmiechen A true twentieth-century trailblazer, Harvey Milk was an outspoken human rights activist and one of the first openly gay U.S. politicians elected to public office; even after his assassination in 1978, he continues to inspire disenfranchised people around the world. The Oscar-winning *The Times of Harvey Milk,* directed by Robert Epstein and produced by Richard Schmiechen, was as groundbreaking as its subject. One of the first feature documentaries to address gay life in America, it’s a work of advocacy itself, bringing Milk’s message of hope and equality to a wider audience. This exhilarating trove of original documentary material and archival footage is as much a vivid portrait of a time and place (San Francisco’s historic Castro District in the seventies) as a testament to the legacy of a political visionary. **Picks from the Video Store** Take home more incredible queer documentaries tonight on fabulous physical media! *Portrait of Jason, The Queen, Kamikaze Hearts* **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
