Haven't seen it before. Anything I need to be aware of before I watch it?

4. Fear, maybe?
Of what it might make you feel?

I'm prepared for anger and tears, but I don't know how much of either it might evoke. That's why I asked.

5. Neither of those
I've seen "Boys Don't Cry", which is very graphic and although it was upsetting I've watched it several times. I just never seem to think of "The Laramie Project" when I'm thinking "what should I get at Blockbuster". Maybe I'll get it this weekend now that it's fresh in my mind.

6. Yeah, I gotcha
When I was picking movies that time, I got "Memphis Belle," and then there's the "Other films starring Matthew Modine" thing, which included "And The Band Played On." I hadn't seen that in a few years, so I got it. And then pops up "Other films in this genre," which had "The Laramie Project."

Netflix rocks. Helps ya think. :thumbsup:

7. That film made me cry. A lot.
So, just be aware, it's worth watching, but you might not walk away traumatized.

8. The way some of the locals handle Phelps crew when they show up is worth
watching for. Truly a beautiful moment.
