From Madison Middle School:

A 2015 Sundance official selection, The Mask You Live In is not available for view outside of licensed screenings. The Madison PTSA purchased the license as a parent education expense in the fall to support the Finding Kind program in December. Now, we will show it again FREE for our
community.

The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity. Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, our protagonists 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.

Experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media also weigh in, offering empirical evidence of the “boy crisis” and tactics to combat it.

The Mask You Live In ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men. SCREENING IS OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY!

Wednesday, March 16 at 7 pm
