Synopsis

“Wearing a mask is the first lesson in patriarchal masculinity a boy learns,” said bell hooks. Here's what's behind the mask. For 25 years, London therapist Jerry Hyde has offered support groups for men wishing to explore the greatest prohibition of virilist culture: their vulnerability. In a post #metoo era, he decides with his partner, director Mai HUA, to produce a documentary essay to help change masculine culture. “Powerful and Poetic” according to Le Monde, this series of interviews with men on a black background, interspersed with a walk in the Somme, on the commemoration sites of the First World War, is a valuable contribution to the question of gender and living together.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
