What happens when conservative academics mistranslate a text? Utilising never-before-seen footage from Yale University, this challenging and investigative unveiling examines a single word – “Homosexual” – and asks if it actually even appears in the Bible or is it an unfortunate mistranslation, which has been leapt upon by conservative movements worldwide? Tackling ideology head-on and reaching across the aisle, it unravels a potentially massive mistake that has fuelled and fired Biblical Literalism for decades, flirting with the question - is the Bible prejudiced against LGBTQIA+ communities, or has it just been mistranslated?
Screening followed by Q&A with director Sharon “Rocky” Roggio and producer Jena Serbu
