Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine is a powerful feature documentary about Matthew Shepard, a University of Wyoming student who was brutally beaten, tied to a fence, and left to die because he was gay. Michele Josue, a close friend of Matt’s, revisits the shocking case as Matt’s brief life is remembered in this searing, poignant, and multi-layered biographical and sociological portrait. In this film, the notion of forgiveness takes on truly heroic proportions, embodied in the moving and courageous final act of Matt’s parents.
