The Mask You Live In
Book • 2015
The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America's narrow definition of masculinity.
The film, directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, highlights the pressures from media, peer groups, and adults that encourage boys to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence.
Experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media provide empirical evidence of the 'boy crisis' and suggest tactics to combat it.
The documentary aims to illustrate how society can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men.
