What Men Don’t Talk About?

A Man’s Man

United Kingdom I 2023 I 35 min. I N-13

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. We are confronted with the devastating impact of toxic masculinity, the continued stigma surrounding mental health and the heart-breaking toll it inevitably takes. A Man’s Man is a honest look at the common bonds that bring us together, the struggles that tear us apart and the processes that lead to healing.

In the religious Iranian city of Qom, there are restrictions imposed on women in the name of ‘sexual safety’. Hossein grew up in this context, but as a young boy he found himself victimized and abused, and left to carry this secret into adulthood. Now, with the help of his wife Elahe, he is confronting his trauma.
