Subject: Boys and Men Healing- film about the impact of male child sexual abuse - apologies for any cross posts

 

This is a fascinating film. Very powerful. We just got it in our library and we are trying to figure out the best ways to use this. I am wondering if anyone has used this film and if so, how. 

 

If you haven't seen it, I would recommend at least checking it out.

Boys and Men Healing is a documentary about the impact male child sexual abuse has on both the individual and society, and the importance of male survivors healing and speaking out for the well being of individuals, families, and communities. Featuring non-offending men, this film digs deep into the effects of boyhood sexual abuse-- shame, intimacy problems, sexual identity confusion, post-traumatic stress, substance abuse or rage that led to violence plagued their lives--yet each man ultimately chose the arduous task of healing. Through counseling and support groups and taking action toward the prevention of other boys, each man is a testimony of hope and the ability for survivors to thrive.  The film bursts forth with beauty and celebration of men's emotions and voices-too long veiled under masculinity stereotypes and silence. Produced by Big Voice Pictures in association with the International Documentary Association. For more information call
