Wiki.
Murdered for Being Different, is a 2017 British crime drama film directed by Paul Andrew Williams. It is based on the 2007 murder of Sophie Lancaster in the United Kingdom.
The film is about two people from the goth subculture who are assaulted by drunken youths in a skateboard park, and the subsequent police investigation. The attack itself is shown in detail. Flashbacks of the couple's loving relationship contrast with the brutal violence and the stark investigation.
