Tu deviendras hétéro, mon fils (2020)

Assuming your homosexuality when you are American, as surprising as it may seem, is not necessarily straightforward. In the United States, 700,000 homosexuals have already undergone so-called conversion therapy. These therapies, which go by name only, promise to "fix" a deviant sexual orientation. Led by religious or pseudo-scientific communities, they do not hesitate to use humiliation and physical violence to achieve their ends and to change a person's inner identity. Conceived as a road movie, stretching from Alabama to California, this documentary immerses us in the world of conversion therapy, with powerful testimonies from victims and activists.
