This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

I was really impressed by much of this documentary, and liked the bits of music clips, and felt moved by the pain of those who have been attacked by the Mormon religious faith - but I felt more and more during the movie, and especially at the end when they were showing clips from the actual concert that was done, that this movie is still just trying to push the Mormon 'belief' and all the stupidity and idiocy this religion entails.I felt like screaming at the screen as the film went on, especially at the end: "How the HECK can you continue to believe in a religion that has caused the death by suicide of hundreds of its followers?" How can anybody believe that a little man up in the sky actually cares about them when the leaders of the Mormon faith continue to push hate and bigotry and push so many Mormon teenagers to kill themselves.The movie points out that the number ONE cause of death of Mormon teenagers is suicide! How could there be a god who would accept this?This movie made me want to grab the next gay Mormon I might see and shake them and yell: "Snap out of it!" and try to explain to them that they've been brainwashed ....But what can you expect from a group of people who spend so much of their time going around knocking on the doors of people and bugging them and trying to push their strange view of the world on other people.It's time to boycott Mormon businesses. I will no longer buy any products from the photography parts company that moved to Utah from California. Some of you might know the company I mean. They are not really right. But one of the leaders of the company is one of those alt-right @$$*^%'s

I'm not gay, but i know some who are, i do not speak out loud for the LGBTQ community either, because i dont feel too, but thanks to everybody enlightning us not knowers with this film this music, this love faith and hope. i have an easy agenda that to be good to everybody doesnt hurt anybody , and the film is an approval that even the smallest thing might help and save. as a film product , i'm a little confused about wether it is a protest against the mormone community or a personal promotion towards the music,or if its a 100 percent love for the cause. i hope the net income of the festival and the film is building a fund that can help and mission people in the LGBTQ community in the mormon society in the state of utah , with for instance 24 hour call centers, emergency safe house clinics for people in existential crisis and so on. i'm raiding on the imagine dragon wave myself these days, watching their show in oslo norway in april 2018 , the best gig ever ive been to, so i feel kinda influenced by this when writing this review. watch the film,youll never regret that, you might save a life believe it or not........

Watched this last night, and it has left me reflecting on how different the world would be if it were full of people like Dan, Asa and their friends, and the families whose stories they are also telling here.It was far more than I expected, it showed a level of heart and care that I wasn't expecting and certainly created 'the feels' more times than I guessed it was going to.Its a powerful tale indeed, and the work that Dan and his friends put in here should be applauded widely. It shows what is wrong with a society that is run by old white men whose views remain firmly placed in the 18th century, but it ultimately shows more profoundly what you can do to overcome ignorance and stupidity. The Mormons are probably must like others who are firmly intrenched in their religious views, but if history shows us anything is it that even the seemingly immovable objects do with time move, and hopefully this will be the case here.It must surely take only more teen suicides, and more family separations for those who hold control to finally realise that something needs to change, and that their God perhaps puts the value of family, and the value of every person above the once or twice referenced views on sexuality.This is a must see for any LGBTQ people, but bring your tissues. I am hopeful that it will also be seen by the families, and communities of those affected all over the world by hate, but intolerance and by simple ignorance.Powerful stuff.

Both heartwarming and thought provoking. I enjoyed the film and left with a new desire to become more active in my community. I highly recommend this film, especially to those who are seeking a deeper understanding of LGBTQ youth in homes of faith and the difficult circumstances they face. This is a fantastic film for families to watch together and become more educated on teen suicide and how they can become better allies. Kudos to all involved.
