We showed the film in April as part of our annual Sexual Assault Awareness Month events and had speaker Mark Crawford, who appears in the film & is an active speaker for SNAP.  The event went well and generated some good conversation.  Mark lives in New Jersey and has been active in getting relevant legislation passed there, which he speaks about in the film.

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
