About

Cruel World is a close look at a young man who’s stuck, and the terrible decisions we can make when we feel backed into a corner. The film shines a light on the mental health issues that young men have a hard time talking about. Our film explores the ways that male masculinity and vulnerability can become prisons, male relationships, and how so much violence is born from a feeling of impotence. In our increasingly fractured world, is there any way to reach the young men who feel so alone?
