About this Event
Sept. 17th
The Pain and The Power is an unflinching documentary portrait of artist, activist, and survivor Logan Lynn, by filmmaker Cai Indermaur. Tracing a 30-year career forged at the intersection of queerness, faith, addiction, trauma, and self-reinvention, and structured around the songs from Lynn’s latest record of the same name, the film treats music not as background but as a living character.
Beginning in rural Nebraska and Texas inside a fundamentalist Christian world hostile to any type of difference, the film follows Lynn’s early sense of displacement, religious trauma, and abuse, and the ways secrecy and fear shaped both identity and survival. Through intimate interviews with Lynn, and decades of archival footage and home movies, the film charts a restless trajectory: early success, underground acclaim, addiction, public collapse, and the slow, deliberate work of rebuilding a life on one’s own terms.
Behind the scenes footage from early music videos, vintage tour clips, and present-day studio conversations collide with moments of humor, tenderness, and brutal honesty. The result is neither a redemption arc nor a nostalgia piece, but a meditation on what it means to outlive the versions of yourself that no longer serve you.
The Pain and The Power asks what remains after belief systems fail, relationships end, and the spotlight moves on; and how art can transform damage into something communal, generous, and alive.
