CGiii Comment

Possibly one of the most terrifying films ever made - it's a freak show about people in [abject] denial.

They all seem to have severe mental problems - they all believe that they have heard the voice of GAWD.

Oh my GAWD.

The(ir) Blurb...

This is the Ex-Gay Movement, one of the most politically incorrect subcultures in America. 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 Bill Hussung and Mishara Canino-Hussung 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.
