I Am Michael

James Franco, Zachary Quinto and Emma Roberts star in this US biographical drama.

The film follows the controversial life and choices of gay rights activist Michael Glatze (Franco), beginning with his upbringing in San Francisco.

It is during this time that he comes to terms with his sexuality, and while living with boyfriend Bennett (Quinto), he becomes an activist and a journalist for XY Magazine.

However, his mother's passing causes Michael to question his past choices and he begins studying different religions and pondering whether he will be reunited with his mother in the afterlife.

His new-found Christian faith leads him to rigorously study the Bible and become a pastor, a role he uses to denounce homosexuality to the shock of many of his previous followers.
