Laramie Project

When a small town comes face to face with murder, everybody has a tale to tell.

In October 1998, 21 year-old Matthew Shepard was found savagely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die in Laramie, Wyoming. The Laramie Project is the portrait of a town painfully forced to confront itself in the reflective glare of the national spotlight.

How did this small town with a "live and let live" philosophy become a town where young men could commit such a crime? The answer may lie in "The Laramie Project," a stunning, profoundly moving picture of community facing an incomprehensible event and its aftermath.
