“CONVERSION” takes us on a cinematic journey of survival as one filmmaker unites with an ex-Mormon mom and a famous drag queen to overcome the physical and mental impacts of the conversion “therapy” they each endured.
Conversion therapy is the pseudoscientific method of changing someone's sexual identity using psychological or spiritual interventions.
There are over 698,000 conversion therapy survivors in the United States.
42% of conversion survivors have attempted or seriously considered suicide in
the past year.
that number rises to 57% for trans and non-binary survivors.
Nearly 80,000 LGBTQ youth will go through conversion therapy in the next five years.
