We Are Pat explores the evolution of gender identity and comedy from the ‘90s to now through the lens of the iconic “Saturday Night Live” sketch, 'It’s Pat.' The film examines Pat’s origins as a joke rooted in the cultural anxiety of the ‘90s around gender while drawing striking parallels to today’s culture wars around transness and queerness. Trans and non-binary comedians and culture-makers reimagine the original Pat sketches to reclaim and re-envision an iconic character in American comedy. The film explores humor as both a tool of oppression and a radical force for change.
