Birmingham SHOUT presents the Academy Award-winning documentary that inspired the epic new movie Milk starring Sean Penn and directed by Gus Van Sant. The Times of Harvey Milk tells the story of this human rights pioneer with news footage from 1970s San Francisco and interviews with Milk’s colleagues.
Before the film is a screening of Bulldigger. This short documentary explores the challenges local State Representative Patricia Todd faced as Alabama’s first openly gay candidate. Howard Bayless, J.R. Finney, and John Smallwood are also featured. Patricia Todd is scheduled to participate in a post-screening Q&A.
