About this episode
Last week, I watched a new documentary on Netflix called Disclosure. It’s an in-depth look at the way trans people have been portrayed and represented on-screen, all the way from one of the first silent films up to the present day on series like Pose. Today on Pride, we talk to Sam Feder, the director of the documentary, and actress and writer Jen Richards, one of the people interviewed. It’s a really powerful film and relevant in so many ways right now, not only to people within the LGBTQ+ community, so I’m very excited to share this with you.Be sure to follow Sam and Jen on IG! And, of course, be sure to watch Disclosure now on Netflix.
Your host is Levi Chambers, co-founder of Gayety.
