With a narrative that is both harrowing and urgent, 'The Cure' aims to cast a spotlight on the pernicious practice of conversion therapy in Brazil. Through its dramatic portrayal, the film lays bare the atrocities perpetrated under the guise of "gay conversion therapy." Viewers are confronted with scenes of LGBTQ+ individuals subjected to torture and psychological torment in the name of "treatment."
At its conclusion, a title card implores, "Let's make conversion therapy a crime." Brazil, like many countries, has long grappled with conversion therapy.
However, recent legislative efforts signal a watershed moment. At the time of the film's premier, the Brazilian National Congress is considering a bill aimed at criminalizing conversion therapy.
