WE ARE PAT explores the evolution of gender identity and comedy from the ’90s to the present day 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.
