Description

Documentary by Beverly Seckinger


In October 1998, Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten and left to die. His shocking murder pushed Laramie into the media spotlight and sparked a nationwide debate about homophobia, gay-bashing and hate crimes. Filmmaker Beverly Seckinger, a Laramie native, returns home to the site of her own closeted adolescence to investigate the impact of Shepard's murder. She encounters students, teachers, parents and clergy suddenly moved to speakout and take social action.



An achingly intimate journey into the response of the citizens of Laramie, Wyoming to one of the most sensationalized and publicized hate crimes of the 1990's.

Frameline Film Festival

A very personal look at the town and its people. Seckinger's film is an important addition to the narratives that help us understand what happened to Matthew Shepard, why it happened and how that community was affected by the crime.

Moises Kaufman, The Laramie Project

Laramie Inside Out is a story of hope and grace rising from the shadow of hate and darkness.

John Eric Rolfstad, Lutheran Lesbian & Gay Ministries

A lovely, loving testament.
