A haunting documentary on the pains of growing up male. It explores the inner and outer cruelties that boys perpetrate and endure. The film provokes the viewer to reflect on how our society can deprive boys of wholeness.

Reviews
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Anne_Hathaways_Pearl_Necklace If you haven't seen it already, go see it. I seriously doubt you will be able to find it at your local video store.I was able to see it at my college media library.It is definitely worth the trouble of finding it.
HAL-82 Rosenblatt takes an avant garde approach to telling the anguish a young boy experiences growing up in the city. Confronting sexuality, masculinity, and self-worth, the narrative is formed entirely by stock footage, and Rosenblatt ingeniously weaves his story through editing and sound. The film is a unique and thought-provoking experience.
