About A Murder in Montrose: The Paul Broussard Legacy
Twenty five years ago, Paul Broussard, a 27 year old gay man, was murdered on the streets of Houston, sparking a deafening outcry.
The crime served as a wake-up call that highlighted all of the harassment and mistreatment experienced by the LGBTQ community. Through the documentary and a follow up live town hall, Houston Public Media explores the aftermath of this pivotal event – from civil unrest to hate crime legislation; from victim’s rights to political activism, Houston and the nation would never be the same again.
