James Franco’s latest drama I Am Michael has released the first international trailer for the film, almost two years after its original premiere at Sundance Festival.

The film is based on the article My Ex-Gay Friend by Benois Denizet-Lewis, originally published in the New York Times in 2011. The story follows the life of real life gay rights activist Michael Glatze (Franco) who became a Christian pastor and publicly announced he no longer identified as a gay man.
