We Are Pat: Reclaiming the Punchline, Redefining Identity
🎙️ TRIBECA EXCLUSIVE — “We Are Pat” w/ Rowan Haber | SNL, Identity & Reclaiming the Narrative
What do you do when the only version of you the world sees… is a joke?
In this Tribeca Film Festival special episode of Reppin, filmmaker Rowan Haber sits down to talk about their deeply personal and powerfully necessary documentary, We Are Pat — a film that takes one of SNL’s most controversial characters and reclaims it with heart, depth, and truth.
For some, Pat was just a sketch.
But for others — especially those who never fit neatly into labels — Pat was a punchline with consequences. A symbol of how media can distort, erase, and wound.
🎬 We Are Pat doesn’t just revisit the character. It reclaims them.
It turns pain into power and asks a question every one of us must face:
“What happens when the world defines you before you ever get the chance?”
This isn’t just an LGBTQIA+ conversation.
It’s a HUMAN conversation.
It’s about identity — who we are, how we’re seen, and what it takes to rewrite the stories that misrepresent us.
We’ve all been misunderstood.
We’ve all been put in a box we didn’t ask for.
This episode is for anyone who's ever had to fight to be seen, heard, and valued for who they really are.
The emotional weight of media representation — and misrepresentation
Why satire isn’t always harmless
Rowan’s journey of confronting shame, claiming identity, and creating art that heals
How you can take back your narrative — no matter your background
