Under Queer Review | Why Everyone Should Watch Disclosure, A Doc on Trans Representation

Our 3 gays decide to take a close look at a different piece of media today, the documentary on Netflix - Disclosure. This trans documentary, directed by Sam Feder, was released in 2020 and takes an in-depth look at trans representation in media throughout history. Matt, Pat, and Jackie pull out their magnifying glasses once again and dive deep into the topics discussed in the documentary. Does it pass the Queer Review?
