In October 1998, 21 year-old Matthew Shepard was found savagely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die in Laramie, Wyoming. "The Laramie Project" is a portrait of a town painfully forced to confront itself with reflective glare of the national spotlight.
How did this small town with a "live and let live" philosophy become a town where young men could commit such a crime? The answer may lie in "The Laramie Project," a stunning, profoundly moving picture of a community facing an incomprehensible event and its aftermath.
Cast: Christina Ricci, Steve Buscemi, Laura Linney, Summer Phoenix, Clea Duvall, Peter Fonda, Janeane Garofalo, Amy Madigan, Camryn Manheim.
