The violent attack on Matthew Shepard was the kind of wakeup call a society fortunately doesn't get very often. Shepard, a gay college student, was found tied to a fence after being hardly beaten to death (he died five days later). This tragedy made Laramie, WY, infamous overnight in the fall of 1998 and set American society in debates on homophobia. This film is the response of the one American playwright Moises Kaufman, his goal was to create a play that focused not on the assault on Matthew Shepard, but on the community where such an attack could happen, and how many of the citizens reacted to the crime. The result is this inquiry into hate and the thoughts and feelings of an American community. It's a film, based on the play by the troupe, that presents the details of the slaying as revealed by those closest to it, and the truth lies in the details. |
