"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."

My girlfriend asked if I would post this at the forums I go to. It is very worthwhile, so please do the same if you frequent any others or have a Facebook or MySpace account. Thank you very much.

I've shared this with eeryone I know also. I still remember the shock and disgust as I heard the news all those years ago. As someone who's ended up in a few dodgy situations due to looking differently I can relate. For some reason it seems to be ok to be prejudice against 'alternative/rock' fans in the UK.
My deepest sympathies go out to Sophies family.8< - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Thank you very much, Scry
I'm sorry that you have been mistreated due to the way that you look, too. There really is no reason for that.
