“Boys will be boys.”

We’ve all heard it a thousand times. It’s been used to ignore or excuse aggressive or stereotypical behaviour from boys or men. But what are we really saying, when we use that phrase? That boys are one way, that they can’t grow, that we shouldn’t expect much from them? How limiting can that be?

What if boys could be so much more than what they’ve been told they could be, or should be?

Join Next Gen Men for a screening of Boys Will Be…Themselves, a new Canadian documentary created by Dylan Rhys Howard that explores the ways masculinity is evolving and changing in the 21st Century.

After the screening, stick around for a panel discussion featuring youth from the documentary, moderated by NGM’s youth program manager, Jonathan Reed.
