The Center for Gender in Global Context at MSU is hosting a free film screening this Tuesday, Oct. 13 which tries to illustrate what it means to be a man in America.
The Mask You Live In, directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom is an independent film that follows the lives of boys and young men in America as they try to stay true to themselves while enduring peer pressure and trying to live up to the American standards of masculinity.
Along with interviews from experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology and more, the film tries to encompass and make sense of what masculinity truly means.
The Mask You Live In will be screened at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center in the auditorium, with doors opening at 6 p.m., and the film starting 30 minutes afterward. Along with the film screening, there will be a discussion panel and question and answer led by MSU community.
