CURED focuses on the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) 1973 decision to remove homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. The film reveals the invisible struggle behind this historic change. It tells the story of a years-long resistance carried out through the joint efforts of LGBTQ+ activists and courageous health professionals. Using archival footage, personal testimonies, and materials reflecting the spirit of the era, the documentary emphasizes that gay people were not “patients in need of a cure,” but individuals fighting for their rights. CURED is not just about a change in classification—it is the story of a symbolic victory for dignity, identity, and humanity.
