Years later, Michele Josue, a close friend of Matt's, revisits the shocking case with never-before-seen photos and rare video footage, as Matt's all-too-brief life is remembered through the vivid testimonies of those whose lives he touched, from the friends and family who knew him best to the bartender who saw him on the night of the attack. New revelations emerge in one of the most notorious hate crimes in US history, leading to a searing, poignant, and multi-layered biographical and sociological portrait. In the end, the notion of forgiveness—embodied in the moving and courageous final act of Matt's parents—takes on truly heroic proportions.
