1946 is a feature documentary that follows the story of
tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among
Christians to a grave mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. It chronicles the
discovery of never-before-seen archives at Yale University which unveil
astonishing new revelations, and casts significant doubt on any biblical basis for
LGBTQIA+ prejudice. Featuring Commentary from prominent scholars as well as
opposing pastors, including the personal stories of the film's creators, and
original music by Grammy winning artist Mary Lambert, 1946 is at once
challenging, enlightening, and inspiring.
