Overview

A documentary that explores the untold stories of million-selling Christian music artists who bravely came out of the closet—only to have their careers cancelled or cut short by the industry they once defined. The film also spotlights a new generation of openly queer musicians seeking to reshape faith-based music, bypassing traditional Christian radio and breaking through on platforms like iTunes and Spotify, where they are topping the Christian charts and reaching audiences hungry for authenticity. At the intersection of faith, identity, and artistry, the film explores how queer voices are disrupting the conservative stronghold of Christian music while building a more inclusive soundtrack for the faithful—despite escalating hatred and discrimination across the globe.
