A Man’s Man is a searing and deeply personal journey into the lives of seven strangers from the North-East of England whose lives intersect at a weekly men’s mental health support group. Heart-wrenching and often confrontational, this deeply compassionate and aesthetically rich film is a provocative exploration into what it means to be a man in the twenty-first century. We are confronted with the devastating impact of toxic masculinity, the continuing stigma surrounding mental health and the heart-breaking toll it inevitably takes. Remarkably, we are also confronted by something else: the power of connection, the strength of community, and the hope that comes from sharing our stories. In the end, this is a film about the human spirit and the strength of enduring hope.
