Suicide is the biggest cause of death of men under 50. The North East has the highest suicide rates in the UK. Grounding this crisis in a history of industrial decline, A Man’s Man focuses on seven working-class men who meet in a community hall to talk about their mental health – unearthing the common bonds that bring them together, the struggles that have been tearing them apart, and the processes that are leading to their healing.

Content Guidance: contains discussions of suicide, depression, domestic violence and sexual abuse.

 

This film will screen as part of the programme Shorts: Turning Tides.
