Feminist Men
Feminism is no longer solely a women's issue. Increasingly, men are identifying as feminists, but putting this into practice can be challenging. Patriarchal structures persist in communication, workplaces, families, relationships, politics, and education.
The film follows four men who identify as feminists:
Bolewa Sabourin from Paris is a father who strives for true equality in his relationship. To him, this means sharing at least half of the childcare and housework responsibilities with his wife. They divide these tasks day-to-day, but this can strain their relationship as they have little time together.
Philip Siefer founded a company in Berlin based on feminist principles. He believes in a hierarchy-free approach where employees work without bosses, mandatory attendance, and with democratic structures.
Comedian Moritz Neumeier tackles gender equality on stage, sometimes even performing in a skirt. He feels the cultural sector still has a long way to go in treating women and men equally.
As the son of Turkish parents growing up in Germany, Fikri Anıl Altıntaş faced traditional male roles early on but later sought to break free from them. As a HeForShe ambassador for UN Women Germany, he strives to engage in the feminist dialogue from a male perspective and influence politics and society.

„Just in diesem Moment überraschen uns die aus dem Theaterbereich stammenden jungen Regisseure Hans Block und Moritz Riesewieck mit einem erstaunlichen Dokumentarfilm, der seit Monaten Publikum und Kritik auf den wichtigsten Festivals der Welt elektrisiert. Völlig zu Recht: Es ist, als würden einem die Scheuklappen weggerissen, als sähe man das, was sich seit Jahren direkt vor unseren Augen abspielt, zum ersten Mal unverschleiert... eine fesselnde ,Doku noir' mit höchstem Anspruch...Dieser Film müsste an allen Schulen gezeigt werden.“
