Boy Erased

In a hauntingly true tale, "Boy Erased" chronicles the harrowing journey of Jared Eamons, a young man forced to participate in a gay conversion therapy program by his Baptist preacher father after being outed at 19. Based on the critically acclaimed memoir by Garrard Conley, the film follows Jared as he navigates the dark and emotionally abusive world of conversion therapy, where "choice" is used to control and silence those deemed "different". With an all-star cast including Lucas Hedges and Joel Edgerton, the film tackles a pressing and deeply personal issue with unflinching honesty.
