  • Filmmaker Thomas Keith takes aim at the forces in male culture that condition boys and men to dehumanize and disrespect women. Keith breaks down a range of contemporary media forms, zeroing in on movies and music videos that glamorize womanizing pornography that trades in the brutalization of women comedians who make fun of sexual assault and a groundswell of men’s magazines and cable TV shows that revel in myths of American manhood. The message Keith uncovers in virtually every corner of our entertainment culture is clear: it’s not only normal — but cool — for boys and men to control and humiliate women. In the end, The Bro Code challenges young people to question this ideal of masculinity. –Container.
