As part of the PratoEstate 2019 summer programme, Monash students, visitors and the local community are invited to attend a special open-air screening of the 2018 Australian film Boy Erased on Thursday 5 September 2019 at 9.30pm.
The film tells the story of Jared, growing up in a small-town Baptist family. After being outed gay to his family, the film follows his struggles and pressure to attend conversion therapy, and his journey to self-acceptance.
The film will be shown against the spectacular backdrop of Prato’s 13th century castle, the Castello dell’Imperatore, located within the historic centre of the city.
Discounted tickets for €5 will be available to Monash guests upon presentation of your Monash card at the castle entrance. The film will be screened in original language, with Italian subtitles.
