Journey to a Hate Free Millennium is an inspiring documentary that
offers insights and seeks solutions to the severe and proliferating
instances of hate crime in modern life. Documenting recent crimes that
have shocked America and the world -- the vicious murder of Matthew
Shepard in Wyoming, the dragging death of James Byrd, Jr., in Texas and
the unfathomable shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado -- this
stirring film also seeks to provide insight into these tragedies, and to
find viable solutions to the serious problem of violence motivated by
hate. Featuring the participation of Elton John, Kathy Najimy, Olivia
Newton-John, actor John Dye (TV's Touched by an Angel) and Cyndi Lauper,
the film also consults community leaders, educators, and many of the
victims' friends. The families of Matthew Shepard, James Byrd and
Columbine shooting victim Rachel Scott share their stories to form the
beginning of a constructive and healing dialogue that addresses violence
and hate head on.
