Matt Shepard Is a Friend of Mine

sobbing

what a powerful and beautiful and devastating and infuriating documentary. i was a sobbing wreck by the end of it. it’s obvious how much love and care was put into telling matt’s story in a heartfelt, humanizing way. it was so much more than any news report could ever be. hearing the letters that matt had written throughout his life was especially striking, he was incredibly talented and poetic. i think everyone should watch this.


a quote i particularly love:
“i don’t know what you mean by ‘healing.’ i hope you never lose being angry at this. maybe his friends, their most important mission, is to remind the world to be angry at that. we must not ever heal from that. never.”

Devastating and necessary, this is a documentary that gives the humanity back to a victim who has become more of a symbol than anything else. It’s touching and heartbreaking but more so it’s important. I was on the edge of tears nearly the entire time. Really a must must must see documentary. Really a fantastic well done film. Please search it out and watch it.
