"Unveiling the Veil: Trans Lives in Hollywood" explores the depiction of transgender individuals in films and television in a groundbreaking and eye-opening way, revealing how Hollywood both reflects and shapes our deepest anxieties about gender. Trans thinkers and creatives, including Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Ens Ford, MJ Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton, and Chaz Bono, share their reactions and resistances to iconic Hollywood moments. Through films like "The Virginia Charm" (1914), "Dog Day Afternoon," "The Crying Game," and "Boys Don’t Cry," as well as shows like "The Jeffersons," "RuPaul's Drag Race," and "Pose," they trace a complex and evolving history that is both inhumane and often humorous, providing insight into the interplay between on-screen transgender representations, societal perceptions, and the realities of transgender lives. Director Sam Feder recontextualizes familiar scenes and iconic figures with a fresh perspective, challenging audiences to confront unexamined assumptions, and showcasing how what once sparked American imaginations now elicits new feelings. "Unveiling the Veil: Trans Lives in Hollywood" sparks a stunning revolution in how we view and understand transgender people.
