Conversion

About This Movie

So, 'Conversion' is a pretty raw look at the aftermath of conversion therapy. It's not heavily stylized, which actually works in its favor, letting the painful stories of survivors really hit home. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the discomfort and the weight of the narratives being shared. This isn’t just a documentary; it’s a personal journey for Zach Meiners, the filmmaker. He confronts his own past while amplifying others' voices. The interviews feel intimate, and you can sense the emotional gravity in every frame. It's distinctive in how it avoids sensationalism, focusing instead on the reality of trauma and healing. Quite a contrast to other docs on the subject, which often lean more towards shock value.
