This is a movie on MANHOOD unlike anything you have ever seen before. It is the directorial debut of Kevin Powell, GRAMMY-nominated poet, author of 16 books, and Tupac Shakur biographer. WHEN WE FREE THE WORLD features 70 male voices across 5 generations, and various identities, to ask and answer that age-old question, WHAT IS A MAN?

Culture Mix

Black men and boys in America tell their personal perspectives on masculinity and their life experiences in this insightful documentary. Some parts are repetitive and needed better editing, but it's an overall meaningful compilation of interviews.
