No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it - Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

Wyoming student Matt Shepard was crucified for being gay, his family tormented in the name of God. His sexuality inflamed small-town prejudice, his murder still scars a nation. A hard-hitting true story that no community can ignore.

Something a bit more serious and sombre, though with some bits of comedy in from the performers. Taken from hundreds of interviews from people actually involved in this true story from a few years ago, it was very powerful. It’s worth going to see, just to open your mind up and get the different opinions of people and try to understand exactly what went on.
