The Happy Prince

The Miseducation of Cameron Post

“The Miseducation of Cameron Post” follows Cameron, played by Chloë Grace Moretz, as she is sent to a gay conversion therapy center and meets other teenagers in her same predicament. While humorous, the film is also a heartfelt reflection of authenticity and self-preservation in the face of intolerance.

Nebraska alumna and novelist Emily M. Danforth, who wrote the novel which inspired the film, will host an audience question-and-answer session at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2. The film will screen through Nov. 8.
