Identités trans: Au-delà de l'image

This should be part of every schools curriculum. Very well made, very human and extremely eye opening, it's unfathomable that people can still be treated so differently and often badly in these modern times, we are all just human after all.

I thought this movie was mind blowing. Coming from a background that has not been educated too much on the topic of transgender people this really helped me become aware of what they go through. I highly recommend this as a great way to educate oneself on Transgender/transsexual people.

Documentary about the way the media has represented transgender people over the years. Wonderfully done!

People need to see this documentary. As someone who has watched a lot of the movies referenced in this doc it is really eye opening to see how these very famous movies have caused hurt to trans people and the trans community as a whole.

I have never noticed how much of a negative impact these portrayals could have because i am not looking for them and because i have positive influences of the trans community. For people who don't have positive references or influences for the trans community it is easy for them to think every trans person is like the characters they see on screen. That is why documentaries like this are important to shine light on the mistreatment of the trans community in the media, whether it is by mistake due to be uneducated or purposefully to be hurtful and damaging.

It also shows that we are slowly making process with the representation and we need to keep it up.

It also frustrated me that Netflix had one again done 0 promotion that i have seen and i had to search for this movie as it wasn't anywhere to be seen on my homepage which is very confusing as this doc should 100% be recommended for me yet they felt the need to give Hotel Transylvania 3 a full splash page at the top of my home page when it is not of interest to me at all. It is good that Netflix has put this on but if they don't help people find it people won't watch it. I knew that it was coming due to other people, so others who are unaware of this movie will not go looking for it has they dint know it exists.

So please watch this and open your mind to people who are different from you.

Disclosure is a very simple, straightforward documentary. No twists or turns or anything like that. It's a bunch of transgender actors, creators and activists talking in depth about how trans people have been represented in film and television since the very beginning of film history.

For that reason I would commend this film as essential viewing for any hypothetical queer film history course at university, as a first dive into how LGBT people are represented, the good the bad and the ugyly parts of it.

Including talents like Laverne Cox, Alexandra Billings, Jamie Clayton, Lilly Wachoski and many more, this is quite all-encompassing for the subject matter. While it does aim for breadth rather than depth, and it does jump around a little bit, the film gives a good first taste into queer film theory, and it does so in a very sympathetic way.

If you know anyone who is transgender in real life, and even if you don't in person but do care about their rights, I would strongly recommend checking this film out.
