The Review
“Journeyman," a documentary film on Rites of
Passage, mentoring, and male culture in America is
poised to go mainstream. .Created by Mankind
Project brothers Charlie Borden and Kevin Obsatz,
Journeyman was distilled from over 125 hours of
Boys to Men and MKP I-group footage.
“Journeyman” is sparking a national
discussion of why male depression and violence have
been escalating in America. The film is focused on
a powerful movement underway to redefine male roles
and to promote authentic models of wholeness and
integrity for men. Now YOU can see it, AND help it
succeed in spreading our healing men’s work to
the world! We are asking that you buy Journeyman,
or help to arrange a screening in your area.
"If we do not initiate the boys, they will burn
the village down." -African Proverb
The crisis in male culture is reaching the
tipping point, as more and more men fail to show up
for one another and for the next generation. Boys
and men alike become depressed or violent when they
are forced to give up a part of their true
selves.
JOURNEYMAN is a documentary film that serves as
a witness and a mirror to reflect boys' and
men’s hunger to know their true purpose and
place in a soulful community Journeyman is a
powerful tool to touch hearts, and begin
discussions of how to reclaim that crucial sense of
purpose and place.
The film takes you inside men’s circles,
Boys to Men Weekends, Mentor Training weekends, and
follows the subject boys and their mentors as they
faced new challenges, and grew in maturity and
integrity. JOURNEYMAN also includes interviews with
leading experts in child development, the effects
of media, sociology, and famous proponents of Rites
of Passage.
Central to the film's journey is the footage of
men doing their own work so that they are able to
show up cleanly for the next generation. JOURNEYMAN
bears witness to a community of men and boys who
are together creating a culture built on the
foundation of a newly emerging definition of
masculinity.
The DVD also includes over 30 minutes of special
features on topics such as the influence of media
on young men, a veteran's perspective on violent
games, and powerful interview with MKP brother and
Heisman trophy winner Aaron Taylor on mentoring and
mature masculinity.
Over the last eight months, Journeyman has
screened at theatres, churches and conferences
across the country. The film is now poised to hit
the mainstream. It will have its first statewide
Public Television broadcast in Minnesota in
September.

has affected ours. Please help us to spread the

“The takeaway from JOURNEYMAN isn’t
despondency, but hope... the one-hour film follows
Mike Ericson and Joe Max, two troubled, fatherless
teens who move from desperation to transformation
with the help of caring male mentors.” - Gail
