Will & Harper is absolutely fantastic

Anybody watch it yet? I watched it last night. Funny at times, extremely moving and quite emotional.

“Three years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: his‬ dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman.‬ That friend was Harper Steele, a writer he met on his first day at‬‭ Saturday Night Live‬‭ back in 1995.‬ From that fateful first meeting in the halls of 30 Rock, Will knew he had found a match made in‬ comedy, and their friendship and creative partnership would only continue to grow over the next 3‬ decades.‬ In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to‬ process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves --‬ this time, as herself. Over 16 days, the two drive from New York to LA, visiting stops that are‬ meaningful to them, to their friendship, and to America. Through laughter, tears, and many cans of‬ Pringles, they push past their comfort zones as they re-examine their relationships to these‬ spaces, and to each other, in this new light.”‬

We had no expectations, but we both enjoyed this. It felt very genuine to see her pain over not being loved for who she is, and it was great to see Will supporting her all along the way. A great example for us all.

touching, emotional experience watching it. I have a friend (from China) who does not understand gender issues so I made her promise to watch it with me this weekend. No one would go through such pain if they didn't have to. They reminded us of friendship and love.
