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.

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 was fortunate enough to hear about this documentary on Brene Brown's podcast just a few days ago, when she was talking with Laverne Cox. This is the kind of documentary that EVERYBODY needs to see. I'm an ally and have been so disgusted by the treatment of trans people. This is incredibly insightful and educational. I have a hard time articulating, and am finding it difficult to find the words to explain how moving Disclosure is. PLEASE watch this.
