#68 What I've been watching, reading and listening to this week.
A beautiful new documentary and a compelling Australian true crime podcast.
I watched the most beautiful documentary on Netflix last night and I woke up thinking about it.
It’s called Will & Harper and it follows Will Ferrell and his best friend Harper Steele, as they travel across the United States after Harper has transitioned into a woman at 61.
It was lovely to see such a traditionally masculine man be so supportive of his friend’s transition and be so proactive about helping her feel safe in her new body.
There’s a scene towards the end of the documentary where Harper says the trip made her realise how much Will really loves her.
Harper was once the head writer at Saturday Night Live, and the pair catch up with plenty of SNL alumni along the way including Tina Fey, Tracey Morgan, Will Forte and Kristin Wig.
It’s definitely worth a watch and it’s a great example of how a friendship can adapt and evolve over time.
