The film The Therapy presents the first exposé from within of conversion "therapy". Lev and Ben are attracted to men and go to conversion therapy in the hope of marrying a woman. Whereas Lev becomes a devotee of the therapy, Ben is consumed with doubt and embarks on research that will change his life.
