Comedian Will Ferrell has opened up about Will & Harper getting snubbed by the Oscars. Back in September, the Step Brothers star and his longtime friend comedy partner Harper Steele made waves with their Netflix project.
Directed by Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar’s Josh Greenbaum, the documentary follows the duo as they embark on a seventeen-day road trip across the United States after Steele–who also served as a former head writer at Saturday Night Live – comes out as a trans woman.
Throughout the film, the pair navigates a new stage of their friendship, Steele reintroduces herself to the world, and Ferrell learns how to be an authentic ally of the trans community.
In addition to exploring the rampant transphobia and the plethora of anti-trans legislatures in the United States, Will & Harper prioritises joy and – with their legendary comedy backgrounds – humour.
