Is this the modern man?

2026. A man stands on stage and says, “Is this the modern man?”.

Tobias explores the concept of manliness through the multiple lens he has access to in our modern age. Can he answer this question by looking to his own father? Will his peers and other men help guide him? Will he find the path to manliness online?

Over an thirty minutes, Tobias uses emails from his father at a time their relationship was distant, real experiences from men in the community and social media posts, talking points and clips to build a picture of manliness in today’s world.

When your primary male role model is distant and absent, how do you learn what it is to be a man in our modern era?
