Disclosure

Disclosure (2020) is a documentary that examines the history of trans folk in movies and television. Similar to the Celluloid Closet (1995), the film reveals how presentations of trans characters evolved over time, often in more progressive and empowering ways. Yet the controlling images from the past still affect public perceptions of trans people. Becoming aware of these insidious stereotypes will help advance trans representation in film and other social arenas.
