How do we teach our boys to become better men?

Set against the backdrop of his son’s first five years of life—from cooing infant to hurricane of a boy—filmmaker Justin Simms looks at modern masculinity through the lens of fatherhood as he asks an increasingly urgent question: How do we teach our boys to be better men?

There will be a Q&A with Justin Simms and Hasan Hai after the film.

This is a free event but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
