The movie Milk will be out in limited release to just a handful of theaters across the country on Wednesday November 26, 2008. In Seattle, the movie will be shown at the Egyptian Theatre on Seattle’s Capitol Hill – 805 East Pine St.
The movie Milk is based on the true story of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office. Played by actor Sean Penn, it would be a political career that would end tragically too soon but would forever change politics and the California legal system. Harvey Milk’s legacy would become an inspiration for gay liberation around the country. This is a movie that everyone must see.
Show times for Wednesday November 26 are 1:00pm, 4:00pm, 7:00pm, and 9:50pm. You can purchase advance tickets here. Be sure to select November 26 from the drop down box.
