Considering Matthew Shepard
Special | 56m 46sVideo has Closed Captions
Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare create a three-part oratorio for Matthew Shepard.
In October of 1998, Matthew Shepard was beaten, tortured, and left to die. Twenty years later his legacy is remembered in a unique production that uses music, poetry and interviews and to explore a pivotal time in our history. When a hate crime is committed, what does it mean to be a victim, a parent, a community member, a perpetrator? How do we learn to find hope in hopeless situations?
