Love, Scott is a 2018 Canadian documentary film, directed by Laura Marie Wayne.[1] The film profiles Scott Jones, a gay man who was left paraplegic in an anti-gay attack in 2013.[1]
On October 12, 2013, Jones, a gay resident of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, was stabbed by a knife-wielding man after leaving the Acro Lounge.[2] His attacker, Shane Matheson, was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison in June 2014.[3] During his recovery, Jones participated in the creation of Don't Be Afraid, a province-wide campaign to combat homophobia,[4] and was selected as the grand marshal of the 2014 Halifax Pride parade.[4]
