The Matthew Shepard Story
"Stockard Channing stars in The Matthew Shepard Story, an excellent Lifetime film (the network for women and gay men) as Judy Shepard, mother of Matthew, a young gay man who was beaten to death and who has become a symbol of gay hate crimes everywhere.In 1998, a young gay man by the name of Matthew Shepard was robbed, viciously beaten and left tied to a fence to die. This film recounts the events leading up to the attack, the attack itself, the trial and the after-effects on the Shepard family and Laramie, Wyoming. While this TV movie bites off more than it can chew, it's a moving story that needs to be told, and re-told, and told again. Have some tissues handy and enjoy Stockard Channing's performance, she chew's up the screen."TLA Video
