HAPPY
SAD MAN is a charming and uplifting insight into the
lives of five very different Australian men.
Following
her smash hit I Am Eleven, Australian filmmaker Genevieve
Bailey was inspired to find more diverse and positive
portrayals of men exploring their emotional selves.
We journey from Bondi Beach to the outback; we laugh
and cry alongside a war photographer traversing global
conflict zones, we visit a farmer and outreach worker
from rural Victoria, a musical nomad and a sensitive
dog-loving artist. Each portrait is an intimate and
heartwarming look into vulnerability, friendship and
compassion.
HAPPY
SAD MAN gives unforgettable voice to the complex emotional
landscapes we can all traverse. Touching, funny and
tender, this must-see documentary is set to shine
a light on and change the dialogue around masculinity
and mental health today. Exploring hopes, anxieties,
joy and darkness the raw vulnerability of these stories
will inspire you to hold some of the men in your life
that bit closer.
