Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The LDS Church's 2015 policy labeling same-sex Mormon couples as 'apostates' and barring their children from baptism—reversed in 2019 but never apologized for—haunts this film's entire framework.
The original 2018 version was 47 minutes; this expansion adds nearly an hour of new testimony, including interviews with family members who refused participation in the first cut.
