Boy Erased: Uma Verdade Anulada

The Eamons family's lives center on their evangelicalism, on patriarch Marshall (an associate Baptist pastor), and on only offspring, eighteen-year-old Jared, a freshman at a Christian college. Initiated by an unfounded accusation, Marshall and his wife Nancy send Jared to a conversion therapy assessment camp under the direction of Victor Sykes, the aim of the camp to decide on the next step of the appropriate conversion therapy. Accompanied by Nancy staying at a nearby hotel, Jared willingly goes in knowing his own internal feelings regardless of what his parents have been told about him in that half truth accusation. Jared's recent past leading up to this moment is told in flashback, an outwardly straight-laced existence of that centered on the church and the long-term "natural path" of marriage – which thus included Chloe, a girlfriend in high school – and children. While Jared does his best to adhere to what is asked of him to tell his truth, that truth may set him on a path to what he needs to do for himself, the question then becoming whether he will be allowed to pursue that path, especially if it goes against Victor or his parents.-Huggo
