2025 / 58 min / kolor

What does it mean to be a real man? Where do the ideals of strength, dominance, and competition that have shaped masculine identity for centuries come from? Masculinity takes viewers on a documentary journey through history and contemporary culture, from antiquity to today's alpha-male ideals. The series explores the origins of masculine stereotypes, toxic masculinity, and the crisis of traditional gender roles. It also examines how values associated with masculinity influence politics, workplace culture, and social relationships. Is the current crisis of masculinity something new, or simply another chapter in an ongoing transformation? And can men free themselves from the pressure to be a “real man”?
