Directed by Desiree Akhavan, the 2018 cinematic adaptation won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
When Cameron’s burgeoning relationship with Coley is discovered, Aunt Ruth takes dramatic and devastating action. Believing she is saving her niece from sin, she sends Cameron to a Christian conversion therapy center. It's here that the novel’s title gains its full, horrifying weight. The second half of the book is set within this "de-gaying" camp, forcing Cameron to confront not just her environment but the very notion of selfhood in a place dedicated to erasing it. The final act chronicles her attempts to survive and ultimately escape this "miseducation."
