Miseducation of Cameron Post, The

Based on the celebrated novel by Emily M. Danforth, itself based loosely around the story of Zach Stark, The Miseducation of Cameron Post follows Cameron (Chloe Grace Moretz) as she is sent to a gay conversion therapy center after getting caught with another girl in the back seat of a car on prom night. Run by the strict and severe Dr. Lydia Marsh (Jennifer Ehle) and her brother, Reverend Rick (John Gallagher Jr.) - who claims to be an example of how those in the program can be "cured" - the center is built upon repenting for same sex attraction. In the face of intolerance and denial, Cameron meets a group of fellow "sinners" including the amputee stoner Jane (Sasha Lane), and her friend, the Lakota Two-Spirit, Adam (Forrest Goodluck). Together, this group of teenagers form an unlikely family as they fight to survive.
