Synopsis

Charting the epic journey of one of the most influential luminaries of our time from 1960s feminist pioneer to the present day - Dr Warren Farrell is a rare breed - he is the only man in history elected three times to the board of The National Organisation for Women in New York City. The past decades have seen him go from being the world's most celebrated male-feminist, to shunning men's and women's "rigid roles of the past". From authoring 'The Liberated Man' and speaking on women’s rights the world over, to highlighting the global boy crisis and the impact of dad deprivation on girls, boys, women, men and society. Enthralling both ends of the political spectrum he has appeared on over 1000 TV shows - from CNN, Oprah Winfrey, Good Morning America, Donahue, Barbara Walters, Vaush and the BBC, to FOX, Jordan Peterson, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson. Chosen by the Financial Times as one of the world's top 100 thought leaders, lifelong feminist Farrell has changed the course of history with his groundbreaking books. The documentary charts Farrell's trailblazing journey and features original interviews, including John Gray ('Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus') and Professor Nicola Graham Kevan, and a reading made specially for the film by the legendary Thomas Sowell about the destruction of the black family. An epic journey into the maverick trailblazer's evolution, reflecting society's profound transformation over the past six decades. A brave and deeply thought-out insight into society today with Farrell's very personal take on what Gloria Steinem was really like, why Robert Redford and his wife came to his house for dinner, and why John Lennon thanked Farrell for helping him make "the best decision of his life" and "discovering the true meaning of love?" "You have to be pro-female and pro-male if you want to be pro-human" argues dialogue-advocating Farrell, "we are all in the same family boat - when one sex wins, both sexes lose."
