<b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Mask You Live In</span></i></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> takes a deep look at the damaging effects of our culture’s narrow definition of masculinity.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc45-ptHMxo&authuser=0" target="_blank">
<span style="color:windowtext">From suicide to substance abuse to violence, society's narrow definition of what it means to "be a man" is creating a host of unintended consequences, for young men as individuals and for our society as a whole.</span></a>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, the boys and men in the film confront messages encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic
friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence. These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance, creating a maze of identity issues boys and young men must navigate to become “real” men.
