The Laramie Project

[joyfulgirl]

Did anyone else see this on HBO last night? It's the true story of how the Matthew Shepard murder affected the town of Laramie, WY. It was really quite good--difficult to hear the grisly details of the murder all over again--but really inspirational in how the town came together to address the issues, namely of how one town became so negatively labeled a hate town due to two hateful boys' crime.

If you have HBO and missed it, it reruns on Tuesday night.

Oh I will have to watch it tomorrow. I really wanted to see it, but I was not at home last night. There was once this show about that on MTV, I couldn't believe that those kids (people, whatever) had that much hate stored up in them! So much negativity...it's really too bad. I don't know if you've ever seen those commercials with Matthew's mother telling kids not to pick on differences. She is obviously fighting back tears, and it makes me cry every time I see it.
