Description

For decades, the Bible has been used as a bludgeon against LGBTQ+ people—but what if the foundation of that condemnation was built on a mistranslation? 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture uncovers the explosive truth behind how the word “homosexual” was inserted into scripture in 1946, rewriting theology and fueling a global campaign of bigotry. With gripping archival research and razor-sharp analysis, this documentary isn’t just a correction—it’s a direct challenge to the institutions that let hatred hide behind holy text. A searing call to accountability, 1946 demands that we reckon with the lies we've been told—and who they’ve harmed.
