How do we love something critically? That was one of the questions facing Sam Feder, director of the new Netflix documentary Disclosure.
“First and foremost, I made this film for trans people,” says Sam Feder, director of the new Netflix documentary Disclosure. “We needed to lay out our story in this way so it could be owned, and I hope trans people feel emboldened by seeing this history, its pain and its complexities told by other trans people.”
In the case of the equally eye-opening and compelling Disclosure, this Netflix documentary will undoubtedly help more people understand how transgender people have seen themselves represented in Hollywood—it brings everyone together with its critical eye.
The doc is an exhaustive and entertaining look at how trans individuals have historically been depicted onscreen through surprising archival footage (Birth of a Nation and Bugs Bunny make appearances) and insightful interviews with a diverse array of activists and artists (everyone from the ACLU’s Chase Strangio, one of the attorneys on plaintiff Aimee Stephens’ winning team, to directors Lily Wachowski and Yance Ford).

But while mainstream visibility is welcome and influential, especially for as historically marginalized a community as transgender people, one should be wary of celebrating representation in which “a few people are elevated and the majority of people are still struggling”, Cox says in Disclosure, a Netflix documentary she executive produced on the history of transgender representation in American media.
