Pray Away is a powerful 2020 American documentary film directed by Kristine Stolakis, shedding light on the "ex-gay" movement and conversion therapy. The film features former leaders of this movement who once advocated for changing one's sexual orientation, alongside survivors who share their deeply personal experiences. It explores the origins and devastating impact of these practices on LGBTQ+ individuals. By presenting both the perspectives of those who promoted and those who endured conversion therapy, the documentary offers a critical look at a harmful chapter in LGBTQ+ history.
