Join us on Saturday, April 26th from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM for a screening of CURED, followed by a discussion with the film's Co-Director and local community members!
CURED is an award-winning documentary that highlights a pivotal yet largely unknown chapter in the struggle for LGBTQIA+ equality: the campaign that led the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to remove the diagnosis of homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses. Before this momentous 1973 decision, the medical establishment viewed every LGBTQIA+ person as mentally unwell and in need of a cure.
While CURED is indisputably about science, medicine, politics, and the process of social change, this film, at its core, is about a group of extraordinary activists with stubborn dedication and big personalities who came together at a crossroads in LGBTQIA+ history. These heroes’ passion for justice — and their belief that they, and not psychiatrists, were the experts on their own lives — propels the story and forms the backbone of CURED.
