Marx focuses on a group of teen boys - all 15 or 16 - from a range of ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds as they navigate troubled lives and shifting notions of manhood. The result is an intimate and accessible snapshot of the deeper crisis in American masculinity, laying bare the roots of the contemporary "Manosphere.".

“Dozens of poignant moments… unflinching… a real-life glimpse into the emotional turmoil of modern teenagers.”
– Peggy McGlone, NJ Star-Ledger

“This cinematically brutal and honest series takes a close-up look at the boys’ problems … Although no easy answers are provided, the programs include thoughtful questions for classroom or other group discussion.”
– Edie Ching, BOOKLIST
