The Miseducation of Cameron Post
Drama/Romance (15), 96 mins

Cameron Post is a Montana girl discovering her own homosexuality.

After her parents die in a car crash, she has to go and live with her conservative aunt and her grandmother.

When the romantic relationship she develops with her teenage best friend is uncovered and Cameron gets caught in the back seat of a car with the prom queen, she is sent away to a treatment centre in a remote area called God’s Promise.

At God’s Promise, Cameron meets her roommate, Erin, and her new friends Jane Fonda and Lakota Two Spirit Adam.

While being subjected to questionable gay conversion therapies, she bonds with some fellow residents as they pretend to go along with the process while waiting to be released.

And why not make a night of it?

Pride have organised discounts with a number of eateries in the city centre, so grab your friends for a bite to eat before the film! Check the Colchester Pride Website for available meal offers.
