Derek Webb

A documentary that exposes exposes the toxic underbelly of Nashville’s multi-billion-dollar Christian music industry, tracking how a faith-based genre became a corporate machine demanding evangelical perfection. The narrative centers on the immense psychological toll of this purity culture, told through three stars exiled at the height of their fame. Audiences follow the downfall of teen sensation Nikki Leonti, shamed and dropped by her label at 17 for an unwed pregnancy. It unpacks the institutional homophobia faced by Michael Passons (Avalon), forced out after being outed as gay and rejecting conversion therapy. Alongside them, singer-songwriter Jennifer Knapp walks away from her thriving career to escape the conservative agenda before later coming out. Through these raw accounts and insights from peers, the film details systemic exile and the resilient fight to reclaim identity and faith outside the corporate church ecosystem.

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.
