Summary
In this moving follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Hoop Dreams, award-winning filmmaker Frederick Marx continues his exploration of the lives of ordinary young men and the extraordinary challenges they face. Boys to Men? - the second in a proposed trilogy about masculinity in America - trains its focus on the pressures and expectations faced by a diverse group of young urban males. This program consists of four films. Are You Listening? features several teenage boys from different ethnic, racial, and class backgrounds offering fascinating insights into their own experiences and the meaning of manhood in America. Three additional pieces - Spencer, Cisco and Al-Tran - give insight into the lives of three 15-year-old boys as they navigate the daily challenges of school, family, and American society
