Back in August of 2015, a month after Caitlyn Jenner graced the cover of Vanity Fair under the headline, “Call Me Caitlyn,” humor site Clickhole published a listicle titled: “8 Moms Doing Their Best With The Transgender Movement.” Stock photos of smiling, mom-aged women featured captions like, “Donna bought the Vanity Fair with Caitlyn Jenner on the cover and read almost the whole interview without sighing. She even left it out on the coffee table for over a week and didn’t put it away when guests came over!”
Now we have “Gender Revolution: A Journey With Katie Couric,” a National Geographic documentary co-produced by World of Wonder. Had Couric been the ninth mom on Clickhole list, her caption might have read: “Katie produced a documentary about gender identity and didn’t ask about anyone’s private parts once! But she did ask one woman about her ‘old name’ hours before her gender confirmation surgery.

A sick film for sick people, Gore Verbinski’s “A Cure for Wellness” is the strangest movie that a major studio has released since 2014’s “Inherent Vice” (a Thomas Pynchon adaptation that only got the green light because everybody wants to be in the Paul Thomas Anderson business, even though that business hasn’t been profitable in a very long time). A thick, festering chunk of psychological horror that feels like a full-bodied Guillermo del Toro remake of “Shutter Island,” this woozy 146-minute nightmare does for workaholics what Val Lewton did for cat people, and it does so in ridiculous style. It isn’t particularly smart, but a Hollywood product this screwy doesn’t really have to be — even at its most half-baked, “A Cure for Wellness” is still a thrilling reminder of what can happen in the increasingly rare instance when a visionary filmmaker is given serious cash without...

Gender Revolution: A Journey With Katie Couric is a two-hour documentary, following the popular journalist as she talks to all sorts of people across the country about gender identity. In recent years the long established roles of boy and girl, man and woman, have blurred a little at the edges. Transgender was something you only ever saw on exploitative reality shows or read about in articles about the fringes of society. Now this subject and these issues are getting far more media coverage, forcing both the people involved into the light and forcing society to accept that not everyone is born the sex they want to be or...read more...

When Katie Couric tackled the issue of gender identity in 2014, it went down like a lead balloon.

The film will be an in-depth and unflinching look at the role of genetics, brain chemistry and modern culture on gender fluidity.
“It seems that every day, there’s a new story and a new vocabulary around gender that’s challenging our long-held attitudes and preconceptions about what makes us who we are,” said Couric. “‘Gender Revolution’ will go beyond the headlines to examine the why, the how and what it all means, with intimate stories of the people who are at the forefront of this new frontier.
