The UNM Center for the Southwest kicks off its fall film series with “Laramie Inside Out” on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 5:30 p.m. in Rodey Theater in the UNM Center for the Arts. Filmmaker Beverly Seckinger will be on hand following the screening to discuss the film. In the film, Seckinger, a Laramie native, returns home to the site of her own closeted adolescence to investigate the impact of Matthew Shepard’s 1998 murder.
She encounters students, teachers, parents and clergy suddenly moved to speak out and take social action.
After the film, the audience will have a chance to ask questions of the filmmaker and hear her thoughts on its production.
The film and discussion are free and open to the public.
