    A Great Look at Harvey Milk School - with a Good Soundtrack
    I recently saw this documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival. I had not seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the time I saw it, but really liked it. Basically, the film follows the recording of a tribute album to Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the proceeds of which go to the Hetrick-Martin Institute in New York, which runs the Harvey Milk School for at risk youth (primarily gay, lesbian, and transgender students forced out of their home high schools by violence). At the same time, the film also follows a handful of students at HMS through their lives and experiences.

    I have since seen Hedwig, but I still think that Follow My Voice works best when it is focusing on the HMS students. The Hedwig recordings make a great soundtrack for the film, but it seemed like it was going in two different directions. That said, it was still a great movie and I would definitely recommend it to others - it just could have been better. As it is, it is a pretty good documentary that will make most viewers reconsider their preconceptions about sexuality and gender.
