The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Desiree Akhavan : 2018

It's 1993 and after having been discovered in the arms of a girl at a school prom, Cameron Post is packed off to a Christian conversion camp called God's Promise, in a remote area where it is hoped she will be cured of her 'gayness'. While she is being subjected to questionable gay conversion therapies Cameron meets a group of fellow sinners including the amputee stoner Jane, and her friend, the Lakota Two-Spirit, Adam. Together, this group of teenagers form an unlikely family as they fight to survive in the face of intolerance and denial. A rally cry for individualism, Desiree Akhavan's feature was winner of the Grand Jury Prize when it premiered in competition at Sundance Film Festival 2018.
