Movie info
| Languages: | English |
| Plot: | In this movie, Gwen Araujo was born Eddie Araujo. But as she got older she started seeing that she was more of a female then a male. So she changed her name to Gwen when she was in high school and she was no longer a male. When she was 17 years old she was killed by 3 teenage boys after they discovered she was a male. They beat her for 5 hours before tying her up and throwing her in a grave. Two of the boys were convicted of second-degree murder, and one boy plead out to manslaughter. The judge and jury did not see this as a hate crime and none of the boys were convicted of one. |

Goofs
| Miscellaneous: The defense attorney noted that Joey had punched a wall and broke his hand after Sylvia had told him that Gwen was not really a female. A day or two after Sylvia tells him, a drunken Gwen walks along the fence of the construction site in which Joey was working; Joey walks up to the fence and you can clearly tell that none of his hands looked damaged in any way. |

Sylvia Guerrero: You're not going to your sister's wedding looking like a call girl. Eddie: You're just mad because you are too old to wear it. Sylvia Guerrero: [speaking to Eddie and Chita] You know what time I got up this morning? 4:30. I bet you didn't know that. I made the breakfast, did a laundry, I packed three lunches, I payed the bills and then I went to work. And do you know why? [grabs Chita] Could I have your attention? [grabs Eddie] Could I hve your attention? Do you know why? Because this life, is, exactly what you make it. Chita Araujo - Age 17: It's ok if you're a fag. Eddie: I'm not a fag. Chita Araujo - Age 17: Just don't flaunt it. Sylvia Guerrero: All that work to get you into a new school where kids wouldn't make fun of you. I just don't get it. Will you talk to me? Eddie: You don't wanna talk. Sylvia Guerrero: I'm asking... [Eddie interrupts] Eddie: But you don't. I see you working so hard to make us like, everybody else. Sylvia Guerrero: No to make you happy. Eddie: I hate my life mom, I hate it every single day! Sylvia Guerrero: Don't say that. Eddie: There's something wrong with me! Sylvia Guerrero: There is nothing wrong with you! Eddie: You see? You, I can't it no matter how hard I try it's like everybody knows so I'm not gonna hide it anymore just to be what you want to make me! [walks out of the room] Sylvia Guerrero: [catches Eddie before walking down the hallway] It's not what I want to make you. God made you! Eddie: If God made me then Gods a sadist. [walks away] |
