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? The answer may lie in 'The Laramie Project,' a stunning, profoundly moving picture of a community facing an incomprehensible event and its aftermath.
