Arthur Dong

The story

After researching some 200 cases where the motive for murder involved homosexuality, Dong contacted 25 murderers convicted for killing homosexuals or for the commission of what would become a Federal hate crime following the murder of Matthew Shepard, and received agreements from 15 to be interviewed on camera for the film. Dong included only six of the interviews he conducted in the final footage. For Dong to include them in the final product, the inmates had to meet two criteria specifically: admission of guilt, and admission of homophobia as a motive.
