4. The Mask You Live In
“Man up.” “Don’t be a sissy.” “Don’t cry.” “Talk like a man.” “Act like a man.” “Be a man.” Millions of boys hear these words, these phrases, these commands, almost every day of their lives. They absorb the words and then spend a lifetime dealing with their effects. For our young boys, the path from boyhood to manhood is strewn with harmful words and stereotypes.
The new film, The Mask You Live In, explores the confining stereotypes that boys are exposed to as they become men. Through personal narratives and expert commentary, featuring Coach Joe Ehrmann, the film delves into the destructive and often conflicting messages that boys are being subjected to on a daily basis.
Thursday, November 12, 2015 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.At the Clarence Johnson Auditorium, at Downers North High School Admission is FREERated PG-14. Contains strong language and mature subject matter.Find more information at www.therepresentationproject.
