Pray Away is a documentation on the streaming platform Netflix. It got released 2020.

Pray Away is about people who were in harmful conversation therapies from religious christian groups or directly therapies from the church in america. Mostly the documentation is about Exodus, by the time the biggest religious group for conversation therapies. Julie Rodgers (one of the 4 founder of Exodus) was also in such a therapie to pray away her love for womens. Now she speaks about what they did to young people in the LGBTQIA+ Community. The only way to get out of the "sins" Homosexuality or Transgender is to pray to God. They showed a video with many heterosexual couples that were formerly gay but got lead out of the Sin from God. It was a promotional video for Exodus.

In the start of the documentation a young man was shown. He was formerly a woman and lived in sin. He prayed with people and talked about is past. To this day there are still groups who say homosexual and transgender people live in sin. They say that abuse is the reason why people turn gay.

I think its a important documentation for everyone. Not only for LGBTQIA+ people. We need to show the world what they did to us and that we should change it. Everybody should live in peace without hate. All of the Exodus Founders show regret and speaked openly what they did to them. Exodus isnt active anymore. They dissolved 2013.

Its a great documentation about conversations therapies and what they did to the victims. They got told that they are evil and that they should live in a heterosexual relationship/marriage. Many Victims killed themself because of this.
