Katelyn Burns is a freelance journalist based in New England. She was the first openly transgender Capitol Hill reporter in U.S. history.

About an hour into the new Netflix documentary “Will and Harper,” Hollywood actor and comedian Will Ferrell and his close friend Harper Steele take stock of the cross-country trip the two have embarked on. Steele, a former “Saturday Night Live” writer, reads off a handful of hate comments people had posted on social media following a string of public appearances by the two.

In one scene, Steele decides to walk alone into a bar somewhere in deep red rural America while Ferrell waits in the car. As she enters, the camera captures some sketchy glances from some of the bar’s patrons, a Confederate flag and a bunch of Trump paraphernalia on the walls. Eventually, Steele works up the nerve to strike up a conversation with another bargoer nearby, and it goes well.
