Ohhh, this one might kill me.

I can't tell you that "Wake Up and Cry to a Will Ferrell Netflix Documentary Trailer" was on my to-do list today, but viewers, it was, and I did.

Will Ferrell is releasing a new Netflix documentary about his close-friend Harper Steele coming out as trans.

Harper and Will met back in his SNL days, where Will acted, and Harper eventually became head writer.

The two worked together for a number of years and became very close friends, and then one day, somewhat recently, Will got an email from Harper saying she was trans.

Will asks Harper to go on a cross-country road trip to discover what this all means, and bam, that's the documentary: Will & Harper.

"Will Ferrell being a huge visible ally to trans people is cool as fuck because sooooo many straight boys I know idolize him and quote his movies constantly," this person said.

"This film could save trans lives. Will Ferrell is a saint," another person said.

Ultimately, I'm with this person: "Will Ferrell deciding to educate himself and others as well as supporting and loving Harper unconditionally when she came out to him really puts some other comedians to shame, huh."
