Pray Away 

Tuesday 

Netflix 

The documentary, produced by Ryan Murphy, looks at the devastating effects of the highly controversial conversion therapy.

Conversion therapy is the dangerous practice of trying to change a person’s sexual orientation through prayer, psychological or physical interventions. 

Since the movement began, many LGBTQ teenagers and adults have been forced to join these organisations with the promise that they can ‘pray the gay away’.

The documentary focuses on one of the most influential conversion therapy organisations, Exodus International, which was set up in the 1970s.

However, many of the leaders have gone on to disavow the movement and come out as LGBTQ. 

Survivors of the therapy and former leaders talk about the harmful effects and scars they have been left with due to the organisation.
