Netflix purchased “Will & Harper” for a reported substantial amount following its well-received debut at the Sundance Film Festival last year. This documentary chronicles a road trip taken by Will Ferrell and Harper Steele after she revealed her transgender identity, which occurred 30 years into their friendship.
