We Are Pat

This documentary explores the cultural impact of Pat, an androgynous character played by Julia Sweeney on Saturday Night Live during the 1990s. Director Rowan Haber, who developed a childhood fascination with the character's defiance of gender norms, examines the legacy of the role from their perspective as a trans filmmaker. Haber brings together a group of trans and queer writers and comedians, along with Sweeney, to analyze the character. Their goal is to reframe Pat, shifting the image from a source of mockery to a subject for reflection and empowerment.

Produced in the United States by AGC Studios, InMaat Productions, Impact Partners, and The deNovo Initiative, the film was released on June 8, 2025. Rowan Haber served as both director and producer. The film has a runtime of 92 minutes and features a credited cast of 28 people.
