A film showing the murder of Sophie Lancaster, 20, was screened in Manchester on Thursday, with the hope that it will increase awareness of prejudice towards subcultures.
Sophie and her boyfriend were attacked in a Lancashire Park in August 2007, simply because of they way they dressed. Rob, a student at Manchester, survived the attack, however the repeated kicks to the head proved fatal for Sophie.
To raise awareness of the intolerance and hatred that is suffered by subcultures, make-up brand Illamasqua commissioned a two minute long animation portraying the horrific attack, in collaboration with acclaimed film director Fursy Teyssier.
Sophie: Dark Angel was launched in Manchester on a big screen outside the Urbis on Thursday, what would have been Sophie's 23rd Birthday. I went down to the screening to get some reactions from the crowd.
