Description:
The State of Man is a provocative and deeply personal investigation by award-winning journalist Marc Fennell into what it means to be a man in Australia today. Over three episodes, Marc investigates modern masculinity and the rise of the online “manosphere”, exploring the influence of big tech and the culture wars reshaping how Australian men see themselves. With honesty and empathy, Marc confronts the underlying beliefs, examines the social and technological forces that shape them, and faces his own blind spots as a man and father. It is an unflinching, deeply human look at what happens when identity, power, and belonging are up for grabs. At times shocking and darkly funny, The State of Man invites all Australians to rethink whether society can build healthier models of masculinity – for the sake of all of us.
The State of Man – Stream from 8pm Tuesday 13 October on ABC iview and ABC TV.
