Synopsis by Nathan Southern
As run by producer Charlie Borden of St. Paul, Minnesota, MirrorMan Films professes an abiding interest in attempting to heal broken down and dysfunctional male culture in contemporary society - the sort of culture that enables adult men (as mentors) to pass down love, wisdom, insight and validation to a younger generation. The nonfiction MirrorMan release Journeyman: Rites of Passage, Mentoring and Male Culture in America explores these ideas and goals in a documentary context; it discusses mentoring and how that can be used to mold and shape young men and combat the negative effects of various elements of contemporary society, such as the pervasive mass media.
