Based on a true story, this drama narrates the rise (and tragic end) of Harvey Milk, a California politician who became the first openly gay person elected to public office in the state. The movie follows the arc of Milk's life, from his activism for gay rights and his relationship with a younger man to his move to San Francisco, his initial failed runs for office, and his successful campaign to land on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. In time, Milk develops a complicated working relationship with Dan White, a staunchly conservative colleague on the Board, which slowly becomes a rivalry that leads to tragedy.
