You Will Be a Man

A former pimp, haunted by his past, and an artist, the son of a prostitute who transmutes pain into provocative performance, guide us through an excavation of toxic masculinity. Their raw personal journeys unfold alongside a high school teacher's candid classroom debates and an advertising team's dissection of gender stereotypes in media. Through intimate confessions, public forums, and analytical interviews with influential men, the film dismantles enduring myths about manhood, tracing a direct line to the roots of violence against women. It is a deep dive into a social construct that challenges viewers to scrutinize their own upbringing and ingrained societal norms.
