AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In a society in which huge advances have been made in the rights and acceptance of same-sex-attracted people, vestiges of Western society's homophobic past persist - one of the most confronting being the so-called gay conversion therapy offered by some Christian organisations. Delving into a pair of new films that, in different ways, explore the experience of undergoing this 'treatment' - with all its harms and complexities - Adolfo Aranjuez finds affecting depictions of young people who need support rather than suppression.'
