One nation under God, 1993, (2004 DVD)
Focusing on the contemporary religious Right Wing proliferation of curative therapies for homosexuality, this riveting documentary offers historical context as well as a political analysis of this frighteningly large movement. It shows a variety of inhumane treatments homosexuals have had to endure throughout the years in the 20th century to so called be "cured" of homosexuality. The would-be therapists might be horrified to discover that the likeliest result of such treatments (if they have any effect at all) is to accentuate any latent tendencies towards sado-masochism. The sincerity of these Christian and psychological groups is all the more chilling when it is compared with the activities and doctrines of the Nazis a few generations before. The documentary features interviews with those attempting to "cure" homosexuals, along with interviews with a number of the "formerly cured."

All God's Children - Unlearning Homophobia, 1996, (2004 DVD)
"Unlearning Homophobia" is three very powerful documentary shorts--:"Straight from the Heart", "All God's Children" and "De Colores". Each deals with an aspect of homophobia.
The Unlearning Homophobia series is a treasure of powerful personal stories told by LGBT people and their family members to help people understand what it means to be gay, bisexual, lesbian, and/or transgender. Each of these films are exceptional on their own addressing issues of sexual orientation with regard to religion, race, and ethnicity. Together they are an inspirational, unique resource that is a must for all teachers of human sexuality and any educator working to bring compassion and understanding to LGBT people.

Fish Can't Fly, 2005
Explores the lives of Gay men and women of faith as they recall their journeys to put their sexuality and spirituality in harmony. While the whole concept of changing ones' sexual orientation may be viewed with a high level of skepticism, ridicule and even humor by the larger GLBT community, these are the stories of those who have tried. It's focus actually is men and women who have gone through the "Ex-gay" conversion movement - an intensive process designed to turn homosexuals straight - only to become what one lesbian priest characterizes as "Dos Equis" - Ex-Ex-gay.

Abomination: Homosexuality and the Ex-Gay Movement, 2006
A documentary focusing on sexual orientation conversion therapies (sometimes called "reparative therapy"). Conversion therapies have been criticized by mainstream mental health professionals for the harm they cause and for their practitioners' overstated claims of success. Nevertheless, these "treatments" are increasingly being promoted to, and practiced by, conservative faith communities. Despite the pain chronicled in this groundbreaking film, Abomination is a poignant testament to human resilience and to the sometimes difficult journey to self-acceptance.

Krutý film o zaslepenosti vírou a o tom, jak některé věci nejde vzít zpátky, u něhož se pláče. Příběh Mary Griffith natočený podle skutečné události ukazuje silně nábožensky založenou americkou rodinu, která žije v dokonalosti do té doby, než se Bobby Griffith svěří svému staršímu bratrovi, že je gay. Matka (Sigourney Weaver) posedlá vším, co říká bible, Bobbymu život nijak neulehčí. Bobby je vyloučen z rodiny a odstěhuje se ke své sestřenici do Portlandu. Nezvládá neustálé obviňování od své matky a spáchá sebevraždu. Bobbyho matka si po pár měsících od jeho smrti začíná uvědomovat, že je víc rodin, které mají stejný problém, jako měla ona, a začne navštěvovat náboženské spolky konzultující tyto dramatické životní příběhy. Ač se jedná o televizní film se všemi jeho klasickými neduhy, herecké výkony byly na výborné úrovni, což bylo hlavně znát v emočně vypjatých momentech filmu. A nutno podotknout, že jich bylo nemálo. Zejména pak zazářila ústřední dvojice Sigourney Weaver, jež byla po zásluze za svůj výkon nominována na Zlatý Globus, a Ryan Kelley. No a výpovědní hodnota snímku, jehož téma je aktuální i dnes? K nezaplacení.

Priest, 1994
While trying to serve his flock, Father Greg has his own personal demons to wrestle. Not only is he unable to keep his vow of celibacy, he breaks it with another man - something many of his less-tolerant parishioners would surely view as an "abomination" if they learned of it. Even as he struggles with his sexual identity and its implications, Father Greg is forced to endure an additional crisis of faith when a fourteen year old girl comes to him under the seal of confession and admits to being sexually molested by her father. Priest addresses both social and religious themes. There is, of course, no answer to most of the questions that Greg agonizes over, but these - such as how Christ could expect him to keep silent when that silence condemns a girl to continued suffering - are presented for the audience's consideration. It is by his reaction to the issues that Greg's true character is slowly revealed. It doesn't take long for us to realize that our first impression of the man is as false as his facade. Attempting to show the twistedness of faith, the priest must come to terms with why God is cruel, how can he love a man and how can he remain faithful to his God and church.

http://filmdramas.suite101.com/article.cfm/priest_1994_gay_film_review
Myslím si, že autorom tohto filmu sa podarilo predstaviť verejnosti obraz spoločenstva veriacich ľudí s nevyslovenou kritikou, ale i s pochopením pre ich ľudské slabosti. Film nikoho neodsudzuje ani neprikrášľuje. Niet v ňom klasicky kladného ani záporného hrdinu. Na filmovom plátne sa pred našimi očami odohráva kus zo života mladého a horlivého kňaza, ktorý prichádza do svojej farnosti s úprimnou vôľou a snahou priviesť tých ľudí k Božím ideálom. Jeho spolupracovníkom sa stáva kňaz, ktorý nezvládol bremeno celibátu a v jeho službe mu pomáha jeho priateľka. Mladý (a pre priaznivcov mužskej krásy musím poznamenať, že i pekný) kňaz to odhalí a v prvej chvíli sa s tým nedokáže vyrovnať. Keď však istého večera bojuje so svojou samotou a opustenosťou, sadá na bicykel a i on hľadá niekoho, kto by bol v tých chvíľach s ním. Ibaže... je homosexuál. Je v tom nejaký rozdiel? Oficiálne možno už nie, ale musíme si priznať, že nielen v anglickej spoločnosti, ale i v našej, sa ešte stále inak pozerá na homosexuálov a inak na tých "normálnych". Od prvej chvíle tohto odhalenia divák sleduje dramatický zápas v duši kňaza.

But I'm a Cheerleader, 1999
But I'm a Cheerleader is a satirical romantic comedy film directed by Jamie Babbit and written by Brian Wayne Peterson. Natasha Lyonne stars as Megan Bloomfield, an apparently happy heterosexual high school cheerleader. However, her friends and family are convinced that she is a homosexual and arrange an intervention, sending her to a residential inpatient reparative therapy camp TrueDirections to cure her lesbianism. At True Directions, Megan meets the founder, strict disciplinarian Mary Brown (Moriarty), Mary's son Rock, and a group of young people trying to "cure" themselves of their homosexuality. With the prompting of Mary and the other campers, Megan reluctantly agrees that she is a lesbian. This fact, at odds with her traditional, religious upbringing, distresses her and she puts every effort into becoming heterosexual...

Podaří se Magan obrátit na heterosexualitu, nebo podlehne svému citu ke krásné Graham?

Trembling Before G-D, 2001
Trembling Before G-d is a documentary film about gay and lesbian Orthodox Jews trying to reconcile their sexuality with their faith. It was directed by Sandi Simcha DuBowski, an American who wanted to compare orthodox attitudes to homosexuality with his own upbringing as a gay Conservative Jew. The film won several awards, including the Teddy Award for best documentary film at the 2001 Berlin Film Festival, as well as best documentary at the 2001 Chicago International Film Festival and the 2003 GLAAD Media Awards. The film follows the lives of several gay and lesbian Orthodox Jews and includes interviews with rabbis and psychotherapists about Orthodox attitudes towards homosexuality. During the film's six-year production, DuBowski met hundreds of homosexual Jews, but only a handful agreed to be filmed due to fear of being ostracized from their communities.

Ako to vlastne je: „môžem byť pobožnou lesbičkou alebo homosexuálom?" Na takého otázky sa snažia hľadať odpoveď muži i ženy, ktorí sú hlboko veriaci Židia, ale milujú ľudí svojho pohlavia. Trápia sa oni aj ich blízki. Cítia sa ako vyhnanci. Celý život bojujú s rozporom medzi zásadami židovskej viery a svojimi pocitmi. Konečne sa odvážili priznať si túto dilemu a hľadať na ňu odpoveď u rabínov, rodičov i spoločnosti.

The Laramie Project, 2002

V univerzitním městě Laramie ve Wyomingu se 6. října 1998 stalo něco, co je navždy poznamenalo. Té noci byl surově zbit a brutálně zavražděn homosexuální student Matthew Shepard a Laramie se stalo symbolem násilí. Skupina mladých herců a autorů z newyorské divadelní společnosti Tectonic Theatre Project vedená režisérem Nestorem Carbonellem (toho hraje sám Kaufman) odjíždí do Laramie, aby o Shepardově smrti napsala multimediální hru a zjistila, jak tato neblahá událost ovlivnila město i jeho obyvatele. Umělci kladou nepříjemné otázky všem - mladým i starým, gayům, mužům i ženám, Matthewovým kamarádům i těm, kteří ho vůbec neznali, a také zpovídají přátele a blízké Aarona McKinneye a Russella Hendersona, kteří byli z násilného činu obviněni. "Tento příběh nevypovídá o jednom případu vraždy, ale o městě, kde k ní došlo," říká Kaufman. "Proč se to stalo právě tady? Co tomu lidé říkají? Jak se cítí a co si myslí?"

Laramie Inside Out is a documentary that explores the repercussions of Matthew Shepard's murder on the town of Laramie, Wyoming in the year following his death. Filmmaker Beverly Seckinger, who grew up in Laramie, was compelled to return to her hometown to see how this event had altered the site of her own closeted adolescence. Along the way she meets "God-hates-fags" Westboro Baptist Church Reverend Fred Phelps, who condemns Shepard and all homosexuals to a merciless eternity in hell. But Seckinger meets many more-students, teachers, parents, and clergy-wrestling with painful complexities, speaking out and taking action.

God and Gays Bridging the Gap, 2006
Whether coming to terms with a loved one's homosexuality, or attempting to reconcile your own faith, everyone involved in this movie has experienced these very same obstacles and pain. AND, even more important to YOU, they also have experienced the solutions and tools that it takes to get through this kind of struggle - and to feel ALIVE again. This documentary from director Luane Beck chronicles the difficult lives of those who identify themselves as both Christian and gay. Though many denominations consider homosexuality a sin, these people demonstrate that it's possible to be living a life of faith even though they might be going against the mainstream church. Featuring interviews with many prominent gay Christians, GOD AND GAYS: BRIDGING THE GAP is a thought-provoking film that addresses a timely issue. A documentary to break the silence and open dialogue on a major taboo subject. God & Gays puts the face and heartbeat of humanity onto the emotionally-charged issue and answers: what is the "gay agenda"? Is being gay a choice? What does the Bible say? Is it possible to be gay AND religious or must we choose?

Save Me, 2007
Exploration of the controversial Ex-gay movement. If you have ever had to endure condemnation from the conservative Christian community or rejection from friends and family who think you just need to "try harder," I strongly recommend you see this film.
Upon release from the hospital, Mark is left in the charge of Gayle and Ted, the husband-wife team who run "Genesis House", a farm and boarding house that specializes in "curing" men of the "brokenness of homosexuality" through Christian ministry. Two men ironically find love and God when they enter a small New Mexico Ministry designed to "free them of their homosexuality"...

A Jihad for Love, 2007
A Jihad for Love is the world's first documentary film on the coexistence of Islam and homosexuality. The film is directed by Parvez Sharma, and produced by Sharma and Trembling Before G-d director Sandi DuBowski. The film has also been known under the working title In the Name of Allah. In a time when Islam is under tremendous attack from within and without, "A Jihad for Love" is a daring documentary filmed in twelve countries and nine languages. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma has gone where the silence is loudest, filming with great risk in nations where government permission to make this film was not an option.

Proč musí mít nebe pro každého stejnou barvu?" ptá se mladý muslim z Íránu, usilující o exil v Kanadě. Důvod, proč byl nucen prchnout z vlasti, je jediný. Jako gayovi mu totiž podle zákona hrozil přísný trest. Stejně jako řada dalších gayů a leseb z Jižní Afriky, Pákistánu, severní Indie či Egypta vyznávajících islám však nepřestává být pevný ve víře. Může být gay nebo lesba v očích ostatních věřících stále dobrým muslimem? Režisér Parvez Šarma na přání vystupujících zastřel ve filmu polovinu tváří. Přístup společnosti k homosexuální orientaci je všude v muslimském světě stejně odmítavý, jen tresty se liší - od bičování přes věznění až po rozsudek smrti. Gayové a lesby z muslimského světa vnímají svou lásku k lidem stejného pohlaví různě - ve vztahu k islámu pociťují vinu, ale zároveň se svých citů nechtějí vzdát. Diskutují o tom, jestli není korán interpretován příliš jednostranně, protože se v něm objevují homoerotické prvky. Dočkají se v muslimském světě změn, aby za svou lásku nemuseli tak draze platit?

Chasing the Devil: Inside the Ex-Gay Movement, 2008
A feature documentary film presenting an unflinching look at the personal journeys of four people who claim to have changed their sexual orientation from gay to straight. Their stories mark the first time documentary filmmakers have been allowed inside the "ex-gay" movement and provide an empathetic and, at times, devastating portrait of those who claim homosexuality is an illness that can be healed. Form the face of the Ex-Gay Movement, charismatic reparative therapist Richard Cohen, to John Sterback, inspired to embrace his own reorientation, to the Ex-Gay ministries where Joanne Highley preaches to Peterson Toscano that demons are the cause of homosexuality, and exorcisms are the preferred form of treatment. With unprecedented access, award-winning filmmakers provide an empathetic and at times devastating portrait of those who claim homosexuality is a sin that can be healed. Chasing the Devil reveals the extreme lengths that some people will go to deny the truth to enable them to fit into a culture that shuns them.

Central to evangelical efforts to reach out to the Gay community are Ex-gay ministries that encourage people to pray and help them not be gay. For Such A Time As This explores the issue by interviewing key players from both sides of the growing divide.
Is reconciliation between Evangelical Christians and the Gay community possible? Can common ground be found in the intense culture wars that have consumed our nation? Our documentary film entitled, "For Such A Time As This," seeks to answer these burning questions.

This is What Love in Action Looks Like, 2011
Then 16-year-old Zach Stark gained the attention worldwide after his parents forced him to attend the controversial Ex-gay program Love in Action. In the summer of 2005 a 16yo Zach Stark, Memphis, TN, wrote on his MySpace blog about his parents sending him to a "Fundamentalist Christian" program that claimed to offer "Freedom from homosexuality". What followed is a modern day message in a bottle, as teens in the local community stood up for their friend with daily protests which eventually grew to include a huge plethora of individuals demonstrating at the facility in what would become an international news story. The documentary features several former clients of the organization who tell their personal stories about the time they spent within the programs walls, including exclusive never before seen interviews with several teenagers who were forced into the "Refuge" program.
