Megan, an all-American cheerleader, is sent to a conversion therapy camp by her family and friends who suspect she's a lesbian. At the camp, she meets Graham and discovers her true identity — falling in love despite everything designed to keep them apart.

Why watch it

Trashed by critics on release, now a fixture of best-LGBTQ-film lists — the definitive "panned then beloved" cult classic. Natasha Lyonne plays a cheerleader shipped off to conversion camp, with RuPaul as an "ex-gay" counselor. Jamie Babbit's candy-colored camp aesthetic was twenty years ahead of its time.
