The Shorewood and Shorecrest PTSAs bring the entire Shoreline community a thought provoking documentary on how we raise boys. The Film is appropriate for parents, grandparents, educators, and children 14 years and older. Childcare, provided on site by the YMCA, can be purchased below.

High school students with ID will be FREE at the door; no ticket purchase required.

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.
