Title: Journeyman
Artists: Charlie Borden (MirrorMan Films)
Journeyman is a documentary about father absence, mentoring, male culture and intergenerational healing in America. It follows two struggling teenage boys who struggle with depression and violence but find themselves in a community of supportive men. The film introduces us to the boys' families, and recounts their childhood experiences without fathers in their lives. Michael Gurian (The Wonder of Boys), Dr. Michael Obsatz (Raising Nonviolent Children in a Violent World) and Dr. Barbara Coloroso (Kids are Worth it) lend insight as we examine the negative stereotypes of boys that reinforce their isolation from the larger male culture.

Title: "Abandon ME" (Reframing Media)
Artist: Sayer Frey
"Abandon ME" is a provocative 12-minute, 35mm color film about a daughter's desperate attempt to abandon her aging mother in a cornfield. It is also a fictionalized account of abuse I experienced in early childhood. Because of my mother's history in this rural setting, the era of her young adulthood, I've deeply internalized the 1940's. Thus, the film is set in 1947.
The story begins with 38-year-old Edie pushing her mother in a wheelchair through a row of corn, after she has toughed through decades of her mother's physical and mental illnesses. Today, she has reached the brink of her own tolerance for caretaking, convinced she must save herself from further emotional injury and betrayal at the expense of her mother's life. "Abandon ME" is about a middle-aged woman finding empathy for herself in her darkest and most despairing moments. Through grace and surrender, Edie manifests a way to embrace her own fractured humanity and her abusive past, to find freedom and acceptance.
