The 2018 Australian-American biographical drama film Boy Erased will be screened at St James Cavalier Cinema, Valletta, tomorrow at 7.30pm and on Saturday at 8.30pm.
It tells the true coming-of-age and coming-out story of Jared Eamons (Lucas Hedges), the son of a Baptist pastor in a rural, small American town who is viciously outed to his parents (Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe) at age 19.
Fearing a loss of family, friends, and church, Jared is pressured into attending a conversion therapy programme.
While there, Jared comes into conflict with its head therapist (Joel Edgerton) and begins his journey to finding his own voice and accepting his true self.
The film, based on Garrard Conley’s 2016 memoir memoir Boy Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith, and Family, received various award nominations, including two Golden Globe Award nominations: Best Actor for Hedges and Best Original Song for Revelation.
