DescFilm: In 2015, The Representation Project continued production and post- production on two other films to continue the conversation started by the documentary film Miss Representation in 2011. The first film, titled The Mask You Live in, premiered in January 2015 at the Sundance Film Festival to critical and mass acclaim. It follows a diverse group of boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating Americas narrow definition of masculinity. The second film, tentatively titled The Great American Dream, explores the social, political, legal & economic ramifications of a cultural value system built on extreme masculine ideals of power, dominance, and aggression at the expense of empathy, care, and collaboration.Desc
