    Directed by Sam Feder Produced by Amy Scholder and Sam Feder Executive Producers Laverne Cox, Caroline Libresco, Laura Gabbert, S. Mona Sinha, Abigail E. Disney, Lynda Weinman, Charlotte Cook, Michael Sherman, Matthew Perniciaro, WORLD PREMIERE 2020 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL Released globally on Netflix June 19, 2020 PRESS CONTACTS Netflix: Rene Ridinger [email protected] Acme PR: Nancy Willen [email protected] LOGLINE Disclosure shows how the fabled stories of Hollywood deeply influence how Americans feel about transgender people, and how trans people are taught to feel about themselves. SYNOPSIS Disclosure is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at transgender depictions in film and television, revealing how Hollywood simultaneously reflects and manufactures our deepest anxieties about gender. Leading trans thinkers and creatives, including Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Yance Ford, Mj Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton, and Chaz Bono, share their reactions and resistance to some of Hollywood’s most beloved moments. Grappling with films like A Florida Enchantment (1914), Dog Day Afternoon, The Crying Game, and Boys Don’t Cry, and with shows like The Jeffersons, The L-Word, and Pose, they trace a history that is at once dehumanizing, yet also evolving, complex, and sometimes humorous. What emerges is a fascinating story of dynamic interplay between trans representation on screen, society’s beliefs, and the reality of trans lives. Reframing familiar scenes and iconic characters in a new light, director Sam Feder invites viewers to confront unexamined assumptions, and shows how what once captured the American imagination now elicit new feelings. Disclosure provokes a startling revolution in how we see and understand trans people.
