Mama Bears follows conservative Christian mothers fighting to protect their queer children from church teachers and unfair lawmakers. The three families in this doc provide a kaleidoscopic lens for understanding the tensions between faith, gender and sexuality. Spread across the country but connected through private Facebook groups, they help one another overcome the teachings of their churches and call themselves "mama bears"--because of how ferociously they fight for the civil rights of their children and the entire LGBTQ community. Although they may have grown up as fundamentalist, evangelical Christians, mama bears are willing to risk losing friends, family, and faith communities to keep their offspring safe--even if it challenges their belief systems and rips their worlds apart.
