Desc	Film: In 2014, The Representation Project continued production on two new films to continue the conversation started by the documentary film Miss Representation in 2011. The first film, titled The Mask You Live in, follows 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, will explore 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.
