Rotary DEI Film Festival: Will & Harper

As an early kickoff to San Francisco Pride, our May DEI Film Festival movie is Will & Harper. This powerful documentary follows actor Will Ferrell and writer Harper Steele on a 17-day road trip across the United States shortly after Harper’s gender transition. As the two longtime friends journey together, the film explores themes of identity, friendship, and acceptance with both humor and emotional depth. Through heartfelt conversations and moments of reflection, Will & Harper offers an honest and moving portrayal of navigating life and connection through personal transformation. Please note that the film is rated R for language.

Following the screening, we are honored to welcome Dr. Lin Fraser, Ed.D., a licensed psychotherapist in private practice in San Francisco, for a post-film discussion. Dr. Fraser is a founding professional member and Past President of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), and she brings deep expertise and insight into gender identity, mental health, and the importance of supportive communities. As a clinician, she has worked with transgender clients for the past 45 years, primarily doing long-term therapy. She has given talks nationally and internationally since the 1980’s and published extensively on trans mental health and interdisciplinary care. Dr. Fraser has served as a consultant for the Gender Institute at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital, now UCSF Health / Saint Francis Hospital Gender Institute, since its inception in 2016.

This event is sponsored by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committees of the Rotary Club of San Francisco and of District 5150.
