White Ribbon is the world's largest movement of men and boys working to end violence against women and girls. Social norms dictate that real men show little to no emotion. They're forced to hide or suppress their feelings, which can have tragic consequences later in life. To provoke conversation and debate, we created a 3-minute film that ponders what boys are allowed to feel, highlighting how a lifetime of outdated social instructions can lead to the most toxic form of masculinity.
