About But I'm a Cheerleader

Megan, a seemingly typical all-American cheerleader with a boyfriend, finds her world turned upside down when her parents suspect she's a lesbian. Uncomfortable with kissing her boyfriend and unusually close to her cheerleader friends, Megan is sent to True Directions, a sexual redirection camp. There, amidst pastel colors and bizarre exercises, she's expected to learn how to be straight. However, as Megan navigates the camp's absurd rules and restrictive environment, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself, eventually finding unexpected connections and discovering her true identity.
