Cured is an American documentary film, directed by Bennett Singer and Patrick Sammon and released in 2020.[1] The film depicts the inner workings of the campaign that led to homosexuality being delisted from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1973.[2]
The film premiered on August 24, 2020 at Outfest.[3] With the festival presented virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was subsequently named to the festival's "Encore Week", which presented followup rescreenings of selected films from the festival's official lineup.[4] In November, it won the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at NewFest.[5]
