SnagFilms, in partnership with Cinetic Rights Management, is thrilled to present The Times of Harvey Milk, the Oscar-winning documentary film about the successful career and subsequent assassination of San Francisco’s first openly gay man to be elected to office.

The Times of Harvey Milk charts the political rise and assassination of the first openly gay city official in the United State, Harvey Milk. In the election that brings Milk to the board of city supervisors, the people of San Francisco also elect his killer, a former police officer and fireman named Dan White. After White shoots both Mayor George Moscone and Milk, his defense lawyers convince the jury that White was addled by depression and junk-food, resulting in a conviction for manslaughter rather than murder. This Oscar-winning documentary depicts not only Milk himself, but also the political and social milieu in which he lived.
