Amazon.com essential video:
Brandon Teena was a handsome boy who had tremendous success with women because he always seemed to know exactly what they wanted. Perhaps it helped that Brandon Teena was born Teena Brandon, a young woman who desperately wanted to be a man. But Brandon lived in a small Midwestern town, where his sexual identity crisis wasn't tolerated, inciting two so-called friends to brutally murder him and two other innocents. This true story, which was the basis for the feature film Boys Don't Cry, is recounted in the award-winning (Best Documentary at both the Vancouver and Berlin film festivals) documentary The Brandon Teena Story.
This insightful film is both fascinating and horrifying, as we are treated to news footage and interviews with Brandon's family, friends, former girlfriends, as well as the two men who are in jail (one on death row) for the rape and later murder of Brandon. Throughout the film, the viewer's disgust grows as recordings of Brandon with the police department of Falls City, Nebraska, are played; when Brandon reports his rape, the questioning is turned around on him, making him the guilty party for his sexuality. Ignorance and hatred abound in the small town, although many of his ex-girlfriends are surprisingly sympathetic. While there is nothing graphic in this film, it is unexpectedly difficult to watch at moments; the drama, however, is gripping and the message an important one to hear. --Jenny Brown

This video is very good, but there was somenthing missing on the movie: pictures of the victims bodies , florences pictures of the crime scene... etc...

Ignorance will always scare the ignorant, when they come face to face with it. It's true, Brandon was a liar, forger and thief; none of these Capital Crimes. No one, of any persuasion, deserves this. I saw "Boys Don't Cry" first, and I have no end of admiration for Kimberly Pierce's vision. Certainly, some things were changed, but the interviews with the killers were so perfectly aligned with Pierce's depiction. Hate crimes are very unsettling to me, and this documentary gave some great insight, ... Read More

It's been a while since I watched this, but I remember it being disturbing on many levels.
It was painful to listen to the police interviews and imagine what that must have been like for Brandon. Painful to listen to the ignorance. Painful to try to reason why Brandon couldn't find his way out of this situation way before all this came to a head.
I liked how awkward it sounded/felt when Lotter and Nissen kept calling Brandon by female pronouns, yet most others stuck with ... Read More

I would highly recommend you watch "Boys Don't Cry" and read Aphrodite Jones' "All She Wanted" before viewing this DVD, because this DVD will have a much greater impact. I was totally blown away watching this film, because I was already familiar with the characters involved in Teena Brandon's life and murder. To see and hear them was quite chilling, especially the interviews from the two killers. It is also sad, because most of the main players interviewed are nothing but unwashed, ignorant, white ...

boys don't cry is a beautiful and amazing film, don't get me wrong, but it isn't completely truthful, nor is it meant to be. this film gives a complete account of the brandon teena story in an honest, and considerate way while avoiding the trappings of over-sensationalizing like so many other documentations of this story have. more interested in informing than shocking, this film interviews important people in brandon's life thereby giving a complete account of his time in rural nebraska that led ...
