MATT SHEPARD IS A FRIEND OF MINE: Official 2014 Trailer



The official trailer for the new award-winning documentary MATT SHEPARD IS A FRIEND OF MINE, which explores the life and tragic death of Matthew Shepard, the gay student brutally murdered in Laramie, Wyoming in one of the most notorious hate crimes in U.S. history. Framed through the personal lens of friends and family, it’s a story of loss, love, and courage in the face of unspeakable tragedy. COMING TO THEATERS IN 2015.

The Wizard saw this movie Sunday (with his partner of 12 years), and found the movie to be very moving. It's kind of a catharsis for me as Matt's death haunted me for (and still does, to a point), for years. What happened to him affected me greatly. For more on that. click here.

As far as the movie goes, it was hard to watch at points, but was very well done. Tears did flow. Shows a profoundly normal boy who had profoundly horrible things inflicted upon him. 5 Stars
