Boys Will Be Men
Web Site

How do boys become men? How do they learn courage, the difference between right and wrong, and the meaning of love? What hurts them, makes them violent, and sometimes kills them? Boys Will Be Men explores the terrors and triumphs of growing up male in America and suggests ways to help guide the journey to adulthood.

Boys Will Be Men, a unique one-hour documentary, was broadcast on 120 PBS stations in the spring and summer of 2001. The video has received rave reviews from critics and library journals nationwide.
