Becoming
The Brotherhood Blueprint
A global documentary project reclaiming what it means to be a man.
Support a movement that could save lives, heal families, and transform generations.
Men Are in Crisis — But Few People Are Talking About It.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in many countries.
Millions of boys grow up without fathers or mentors.
And a culture that tells men to "man up" is leaving them emotionally broken, isolated, and ashamed.
1 in 4 boys grow up without a father figure
Men are 3–4x more likely to take their own lives than women
Most men never speak to anyone about what they're really feeling
'Becoming' is more than a Documentary Series.
It's Lived Experiences Shared by Men. A Blueprint To Follow.
This project is born from the raw, unfiltered stories of men across the world. Men who have learned to navigate shame, rage, purpose, brotherhood, fatherhood, and emotional suppression.
It’s time to show what fundamental transformation looks like -not in theory, but through shared lived experience.
We’re creating a feature-length documentary and a companion 8-part docuseries interviewing over fifty men from all walks of life, each sharing tools and a blueprint for a new kind of manhood. One rooted in strength and vulnerability. Clarity and compassion.
Because when men heal, families heal.
And when men rise, the next generation rises with them.
This Is For Every Boy Who’s Felt Alone.
Every Man Who’s Held It All In.
And Every Mother Raising a Son Without a Map.
We’re not just creating this project for men.
We’re making it for the women who love them.
For the children who need to learn from them.
For a world that stagnates in its silence.
We are standing for brotherhood, belonging, and becoming.
And we need your help to get there.
