Conversion - trailer
Narrated by Zachary Quinto, Conversion examines the history of gay conversion therapy and two men who bravely stood up against it. The film tells the story of how these two unlikely friends - straight psychologist Gerald Davison and gay activist Charles Silverstein - changed the psychology world for the better. While Davison had been deeply involved in "Playboy Therapy," wherein he would attempt to teach gay men how to be straight, his first meeting with Silverstein proved eye-opening. The men began speaking out against such practices, still quite common at the time, leading to an eventful moment when Davison presented his case at a national convention to over 1,000 peers. Conversion celebrates their courage and activism while also examining their moving 50-year friendship.
