SYNOPSIS
In a world where most of the population is gay, children who exhibit “straight” tendencies are sent to camps in order to convert them back to their natural homosexual lifestyle. Drawing upon real documentaries about straight-conversion therapy such as “Jesus Camp”, this “promotional video” is a biting satire of conversion camps, if only the roles were reversed.
