Review – This Is What Love in Action Looks Like

In 2005 teenager Zach Stark sparked an uproar when he started posting to MySpace from inside the fundamentalist “gay cure” facility his parents sent him to. This documentary about the controversy does a couple of things right. First, it uses a lot of actual footage of the anti-Love-in-Action protests rather than relying exclusively on after-the-fact talking heads. But more than that, even the heads are actual participants in the events or at least survivors of similar “ex gay treatment” programs. The approach was a welcome change from the all too common documentaries about “personal journeys” rather than actual subjects. Mildly amusing
