IGNITE CORPORATE CULTURAL TRANSFORMATIONBy using film, education, communications, and corporate partnerships as a catalyst for cultural transformation, our mission is to inspire individuals, communities, and corporations to challenge and overcome limiting stereotypes so that everyone, regardless of gender, race, class, age, sexual orientation or circumstance can fulfill their human potential.

Much more than documentary films, Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In are ongoing campaigns designed to spark a national dialogue on gender norms and authentic leadership. Each film inludes a corporate screening guide.

MANY COMPANIES USE THE FILM AS A VEHICLE TO CONTINUE THE INTERNAL CONVERSATION ON:

The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity.

Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, our protagonists confront messages encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence. These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance, creating a maze of identity issues boys and young men must navigate to become “real” men.

Experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media also weigh in, offering empirical evidence of the “boy crisis” and tactics to combat it.

The Mask You Live In ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men.

“At Deloitte, we know that our

inclusive culture– one that allows

our people to bring their authentic

selves to work– is central to our

lasting success. In addition to the

creation of this screening guide,

hosting a screening of The Mask You Live In is a great way to reinforce

the importance of authenticity and

advance the conversation on inclusion.

Investing in communities focused on

these concepts will cultivate more

empathetic leaders and inclusive

workplaces.”

“As a young company, we are still

defining our thesis on diversity.

Showing films like this help drive

meaningful discussion that will shape

our company DNA and the impact

we have on the world”

– MICHELLE MORRISON, Content Strategist, Square, Inc.

“The Mask You Live In welcomed men

into the conversation, making them

realize for the first time that they have

a stake in gender equality. We had a

constructive Q&A with the filmmaker

and CEO as well as hosted small

roundtable discussions with writers,

directors, and producers to deeper

the discussion around our findings

from the film. We worked with The

Representation Project for constructive

feedback on the studio’s gender

narratives.”

“The media doesn’t help women feel okay about power — a point that Jennifer Siebel Newsom nails in...Miss Representation. The film...presents women leaders in politics, news, entertainment, and business, as well as top scholars, talking about how the media objectifies women. The main message is that the media leads girls to care more about beauty and sexuality than their capacity to become leaders.”
