  • ""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 a 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?"--DVD sleeve. "Moisés Kaufman and members of New York's Tectonic Theater Project went to Laramie, Wyoming after the murder of Matthew Shepard. This is a film version of the play they wrote based on more than 200 interviews they conducted in Laramie. It follows and in some cases re-enacts the chronology of [Shepard's] visit to a local bar, his kidnap and beating, the discovery of him tied to a fence, the vigil at the hospital, his death and funeral, and the trial of his killers. It mixes real news reports with actors portraying friends, family, cops, killers, and other Laramie residents in their own words. It concludes with a Laramie staging of Angels in America a year after [Shepard's] death"--Internet movie database, as viewed on August 12, 2008."@en
  • ""This film is based on transcripts of over 200 interviews with the people of Laramie, Wyoming."--Title screens. In October 1998, 21 year-old Matthew Shepard had been found savagely beaten, tied to a fence, and left to die. National media attention made his case a cause célèbre, and a month later, off Broadway writer-director Moisés Kaufman and Tectonic Theatre (his collaborating actors) arrived. They succeeded in interviewing a wide range of relevant persons, from those who knew Shepard or knew the accused to police, university, and hospital personnel and community members. Then they wrote a play."@en
