In August 2007, Sophie Lancaster was kicked to death, simply for dressing differently. Two years on, and in tribute to the outgoing, bubbly girl who was denied the chance to live life her way, cult new British make-up brand Illamasqua has commissioned a short film by award-winning French director, Fursy Teyssier.

Produced by creative agency Propaganda, in association with iconic British band, Portishead, Dark Angel is a beautifully haunting rendition of Sophies story.

The aim of the film is to raise awareness of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation and generate £500,000 to help educate young people about tolerance. Since Sophies death, weve been working with behavioural experts Huthwaite International, to put together an interactive youth workshop that does just that.

But this essential education programme can only be delivered with your help.

Please, please show your support watch the film and make a donation.

Were hoping to reach over 1,000,000 hits, so forward the link and help us spread the message. If you have your own website, blog, Facebook, MySpace or You Tube page, or a Twitter profile, please display a link to the film. For added impact, download a specially designed web banner at www.illamasqua.com/sophie/ now.

As well as being available to view online, the film will also be running for a week on MTV from 26th November Sophie's birthday.

Stand up for Sophie act now and buy an Illamasqua Sophie pencil, wristband or make a donation.

Together, well help stamp out prejudice, hatred and intolerance everywhere.

Whoever disliked this video is heartless! I cry whenever I watch this, You should all feel the same! Never change for anyone! Always stay proud of who you are! Sophie is my insperation and always will be, She was brave, She did not run, She did not cower. She stayed brave and protected the one she loved. I will always love you Sophie, You are a true role model to us all to think about how Valuable life is and how lucky we are to have it. Thank you Sophie, Ever so much. You will be missed dearly.

S.O.P.H.I.E ~ Stomp Out Prejudice, Hate, and Intolerance Everywhere

Violence is bad enough. Unnecessary violence is even worse. Unnecessary and unprovoked violence is the worst.

I support S.O.P.H.I.E. out of respect, and wear the bracelet with pride!

Rest peacefully, Sophie.

Somebody needs to remind the haters that angels come in all shapes, sizes and colours. The person you hate today, just may be the person who saves your life tomorrow.

If people HAVE to judge others, do it for how they are INSIDE. Being alternative/different my own, i have had troubles with the media-blinded youth. What has happened that very night should have never happened.

Look at people through your heart, not through your eyes.
