Film Description

Boys and Men Healing is a documentary about the impact of boyhood child sexual abuse, its devastating effects, and the importance and power of healing and speaking out for male survivors for the well being of individuals, families and communities. The film portrays courageous non-offending men sexually abused as boys, whose arduous healing helped them reclaim their lives, speak out, while taking action toward prevention for other boys. The film is a bold voice revealing a secret crime that effects us all, while pointing the way toward hope and solutions.

This educational documentary that digs deep into the issues and effects related to male child sexual abuse, yet bursts forth with the celebration of men’s emotions—too long veiled under masculinity stereotypes and silence. Jim Hopper, Founding Board Member, 1i6.org states: “Kathy Barbini’s film has the potential to transform those stories and voices into healing—not only for individuals but also for families, communities, and even societies”.

The documentary joins with others leading the way in breaking silence and paving new and healthier roads for boys and men.
