I so did not miss this...it was great!
Being a soc major I've seen loads of documentaries about MUSIC overall and masculinity (most of them with Sut Jhally in them), however they did seem very preachy.
I did like how they spoke to regular folk to get their opinion on it, I was concerned for those girls at BET's Spring Fling who did not find anything wrong with being called a B!tch because "I know he ain't addressing me" (done while men are filming their backsides)
I did enjoy how they explained who actually RUNS the music industry thus explaning why we hear the records we hear. I am hoping to get this DVD to show it to a local high schoo full of young black and latino men, who unfortunately have gotten sucked into the mentality the director was describing.
Ironic that they call out BET, when the show I was watching right before this (Top 25 Events that (Mis)shaped Black America) was on BET and they made no mention of their contribution to the black eyes Black America has been given. Chuck D said it best, "BET is the Cancer of Black Manhood".
