Guerilla Drive-in: THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK

Join us for the screening of 1985 Academy Award winning documentary. An informative, and deeply moving, encapsulated history of the Gay Rights movement, local government, injustice and activism in the S.F. Bay area.

Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In Presents

The Times of Harvey Milk

A powerful documentary on the life, career, and assassination of Harvey Milk, a charismatic activist and the first openly gay person elected to public office in California. After less than a year in office, Milk and the mayor of S.F. were killed by fellow city supervisor, former police officer and fire fighter- Dan White. The film includes the candle light march of 50,000 people after Milk's assassination and later- the street riots and storming of City Hall after the SF courts found Dan White guilty of involuntary manslaughter due to his "Twinky" defense (a similar pattern of in-justice and public reaction to the Rodney King trail). An essential history lesson for any activist and advocate for justice.
