Description
This pastel-colored cult classic follows Megan, a high school cheerleader sent to a conversion therapy camp by her parents and friends who suspect she might be gay. As Megan navigates the camp’s rigid expectations, she begins to question the gendered/social norms around her and discovers a queer community that offers acceptance and love. Satirical and sharp, the film takes aim at gender roles and conformity with humor and heart, ultimately celebrating queer identity and self-discovery. Featuring standout performances from Natasha Lyonne, Clea DuVall, RuPaul, and Michelle Williams, this film has earned its place as a beloved piece of queer cinema history.
