The Miseducation of Cameron Post with Desiree Akhavan

TV & Film

This week on Out Takes we celebrate the theatrical release of THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST, the heart-warming, award winning new film from Desiree Akhavan.

THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST charts the journey of a teenage girl forced into gay conversion therapy by her conservative guardians. It opens nationally this September.

Our guest is MISEDUCATION director, Desiree Akhavan, who propelled herself onto the international stage with her debut feature film: APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR. In an exclusive Out Takes interview, we chat with Akhavan about her poignant new film and the importance of sexual diversity in mainstream cinema.

We also take stock of the broader genre of gay conversion therapy films in which MISEDUCATION locates itself: think I AM MICHAEL, BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER, and the up-coming, much anticipated, BOY ERASED.
