Episode 32 - The Miseducation Of Cameron Post (2018)
Manage episode 454847534 series 3443381
The gang are back for the new season and we’ve not been replaced by AI! We’re kicking off by talking about The Miseducation Of Cameron Post (2018), a film which revisits the same topic as one of the very first films we did on the podcast. But where But I’m A Cheerleader tackled conversion camps in a camp, pastel coloured dreamscape, TMOCP is more of a realistic nightmare.
Join us as we discuss the insidious niceness of the adults running the conversion camp, the differences between the book and the film, and on the importance of friendship in LGBTQ+ communities, both on screen and in real life. And if you have listened and you want to hear the short story Alice wrote for Maxine Peake, friend of TMOCP’s director Desiree Akhavan, you can find that here: https://factoryinternational.org/factoryplus/new-writers/mycelium/
CN: Mention of self harm, discussion of physical and psychological abuse at conversion camps, swearing, spoilers and discussion of a sexual nature.
