LGBTQ Students at BYU Share Their Heartbreaking Reality in New Documentary

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by the creative team behind an amazing new documentary about BYU and the treatment of the LGBTQ community in recent years and the past.

The documentary, "A Long Way From Heaven" is the creation of David Sant (Director), Tyler Pace (Producer), and Jessie Gibbons (Director of Photography) and is an absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching depiction of LGBTQ students struggling to find a place at Brigham Young University amidst all the mixed messages the church and administration conveys.

This labor of love premiered in Lehi, UT on Friday March 15th to a packed house. We were so thrilled to see that a few clips of Mormonish Podcast even made it into the documentary.

We know you'll love this conversation with these amazing people!
