matthew shepard

O Boss já tinha feito referência à efeméride.

He was beaten, tortured, had his skull crushed by the end of a gun, lashed to a fence and left for dead in the near-freezing night. By the time he was found by cyclists the following day, he was barely recognizable as ever having been one of God's living creatures. He was not viewed by his killers as human, and he was treated, and discarded, as such.

E na altura eu falei-lhe de um filme que tinham feito baseado na história brutal e cruel do assassinato de Mattew Shepard. O filme passa hoje na TVI às 02h30 da madrugada. É um filme fraquinho atendendo à história que retrata. Mas não se deve deixar de ver.

Anatomy of a Hate Crime is the story behind the vicious attack and murder of 21-year-old gay college student Matthew Shepard. After the show's premiere, history was made when MTV aired 18 commercial-free hours of celebrities reading accounts of hundreds of hate crime incidents from across the country.
