On October 6, 1998, the world was shocked at the death of Matthew Shephard, a 21-year-old Wyoming resident found tied to a fence and with obvious signs of torture.

Initially, the murder was chalked up to a homophobic hate killing, a narrative would go on to shape American culture and policy for decades to come.

Fifteen years after Shephard's death, documentary filmmaker Stephen Jimenez released The Book of Matt, an exhaustively researched look at the myth vs. facts of Shephard's murder.
