The true story upon which the critically acclaimed film Boys Don't Cry is based, The Brandon Teena Story reveals how sparks from sexual ambiguity and individuality can ignite incomprehensible violence.

It's absorbing, often stomach-turning stuff, but, in the interests of filling feature length, the filmmakers stretch things out too much.
The strength of The Brandon Teena Story is that it briefly lets us hear Brandon speak for himself.
Poorly done documentary. Rent 'Girls Don't Cry' instead.
This movie was truly heartbreaking to watch. It's sad that this even happened,simply because people were uncomfortable within themselves and plain old ignorance.

FANTASTIC documentary. Everyone needs to see this. It is so real and it just kills me that such an amazing person like Brandon was murdered for no reason at all. He is such an inspiration. Some parts of this are hard to watch and listen to, but it is interesting and important.
