Three minutes to show a life from birth to adolescence in a believable, compelling way is a tall task. Showing the effects of toxic male culture on that same adolescent is even taller. But this video from White Ribbon captures moments from a young boy’s life that anyone can identify with: mom saying “boys don’t cry,” dad expecting “big strong muscles” and a school yard fight. Each scene builds empathy and dread as we watch a child grow under the expectations of parents and peers, culminating in a cliffhanger that evokes a number of social issues and opens a dialogue about violence against women.
