A Southern Fairytale
Based on true events, A Southern Fairytale artfully illuminates the challenges facing a young, gay Christian growing up in the Deep South. As family and friends impose extreme measures to reshape him to fit their ideal, a young man is left isolated, alone and dealing with the very real impacts of conversion therapy, excommunication, and a father who believes that a demon has possessed his son.
Will he ever thrive - or even just simply survive - if he chooses to live as he was born? Is happiness possible when the only faith you have ever known, not to mention everyone you love, demands that you are wrong and living a life of sin?
"There is a depth of wisdom here which needs to be shared with the world." - World Pride New York
