Review of Matt Shepard Is a Friend of Mine (2014) by Facebook U — 05 Jan 2016

An engaging look into the life of a young man whose considerable impact on helping to raise consciousness about the brutality of hate crimes has led to significant changes in the law and public perceptions.

The film puts a human face on the life of someone who deserves to be remembered for more than just being a martyr for change. The film also elevates the circumstances surrounding his passing to bigger picture status, with some surprising insights about all concerned with this human drama.
