Short Form video for dismantling patriarCHy, white supremacy
Stories shape our reality! What myths did you grow up with around race? Class? Were you taught you could "pull yourself up by your bootstraps," for example? Did someone teach you that feelings are a sign of weakness? What were your taught about gender and what it means to be a "real man," for example? What stories are you hearing in the media about immigrants? People from the global majority? Christians?
Short-form videos give you an opportunity to tell a different story! The video below tells a story that is intended to be compassionate toward cisgender men. It simultaneously critiques the stories about "being a real man" that justify and perpetuate violent behavior. This video also subtly undermines hierarchy by having a congregant educate a pastor. It is meant to encourage further discussion.
