Unconverting

The plot

Directed by Taylor Ross

Through the personal stories of two LGBT individuals, they reveal the horrors of their experience in conversion therapy and trauma that comes with the aftermath.

Director Statement

I grew up in the Bible belt in a small, southern community. On top of that, I also went to a very conservative, private Christian High School. There are many stories I could tell from my experiences there, but the one that sticks out the most is how much that school and surrounding community were extremely homophobic. Unfortunately, that included supporting the practice of conversion therapy. There were a few individuals that I went to school with that were given the choice: go to conversion therapy or be expelled from school for being gay.

My hope is that this film will show the truth and horrors of what really goes on in conversion therapy and educate those who do not know or are unsure of their opinion on this practice. The United States is making progress in this legislation and I sincerely hope this film helps in the effort on the ban of conversion therapy nationwide.
