In October 1998, Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten
and left to die. His shocking murder pushed Laramie into the media spotlight
and sparked a nationwide debate about homophobia, gay-bashing and hate
crimes. Filmmaker Beverly Seckinger, a Laramie native, returns home to the
site of her own closeted adolescence to investigate the impact of Shepard's
murder. She encounters students, teachers, parents, and clergy suddenly
moved to speak out and take action. An inspiring story of personal discovery
and the meaning of community.
