Will & Harper presented by Healthy Bodies Healthy Minds

Healthy Bodies Healthy Minds, the Washington County Health Equity Zone (HEZ), is a collaborative committed to fostering inclusive, equitable communities where all individuals have access to health, safety, and belonging. As part of our ongoing efforts to address health equity, this event offers a powerful exploration of friendship, identity, and belonging within the LGBTQ+ community, highlighting how structural and social determinants impact well-being. We invite the community to reflect on the power of allyship, the role of privilege, and the challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face in accessing safety, healthcare, and inclusion. Following the screening, a reception and resource fair will provide opportunities for connection, discussion, and action to advance health equity and support LGBTQ+ individuals in our community.

ABOUT WILL & HARPER: Three years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: his dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman. That friend was Harper Steele, a writer he met on his first day at Saturday Night Live back in 1995. From that fateful first meeting in the halls of 30 Rock, Will knew he had found a match made in comedy, and their friendship and creative partnership would only continue to grow over the next 3 decades. In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves — this time, as herself. Over 16 days, the two drive from New York to LA, visiting stops that are meaningful to them, to their friendship, and to America. Through laughter, tears, and many cans of Pringles, they push past their comfort zones as they re-examine their relationships to these spaces, and to each other, in this new light.
