Ever since I saw the movie 'Soldier's Girl' its (sadly true) story has been haunting me. I thought I'd try getting it out of my system by creating sort of an extended trailer for the movie. It's kinda therapeutic, haha.
Hopefully this vid will convince some people to watch the movie, there are so many reasons to do so. Most importantly because it's an eye opener for a lot of us. Garity, Pace and Hatosy deliver brilliant performances. Even just the thought that this was Lee Pace's first leading role is quite overwhelming.
More info about the movie on IMDB:

The real story told by Calpernia Addams:

Song: Milow - Ayo Technology
(Cover. Original by 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake)
About song choice: I realized both the song and the movie are not what one would expect it to be. A little edgy, moving AND elegant. A good match in my book.
Dedicated to Barry Winchell and Calpernia Addams.

my favorite movie

a friend of mine told me about the movie and i just saw it for the first time the other day. so sad and my love goes out to barry's family and to calpernia. i love this song also. the only thing i did not like about the movie was the casting of calpernia. lee is an amazing actor, but they should have got someone alittle more feminine and sexy to play calpernia. very sad story though.

Great video! It took me back to the first time I saw that movie! It gave me chills all over again! I lived in Clarksville, TN for 4 years and then moved to Nashville so this movie was super close to home with me and the homophobia of such a small town with an army base! Sad story but true nontheless! I wish everyone was forced to watch this video and see the hatred and bullying and peer pressure effects on people and others! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for your heartfelt responses everyone. I'm glad the video has so many views, and reading the comments it's obvious that it convinced some people to check the story out and speak up about it. Especially the latter is what it's all about. Learning about the lack of acceptance and tolerance of transgendered peeps and and the LGBT community in its entirety decreases it at the same time. Yeah, I'm optimistic. ;)

Amazing movie and amazing video. The lyrics to the song didn't really fit, but I don't even care because the emotion and the sound of them were perfect. I especially love towards the end, with the quick cuts between Calpernia and the murder. Fantastic, and so sad.

Thanks. :) It's not very easy to be that straight-forward in editing when it comes to a story like this, but I really wanted to get the message across. Hopefully people will be convinced to look into the issue a little more.
