These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance, creating a maze of identity issues boys and young men must navigate to become “real” men. Experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media also weigh in, offering empirical evidence of the “boy crisis” and tactics to combat it... ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men."

- N!ai, the story of a !Kung womanStreaming license ends: 1-30-2024. 1980. Running time: 58 min. Filmmakers: John Marshall, Adrienne Miesmer. "This film provides a broad overview of Ju/'hoan life, both past and present, and an intimate portrait of N!ai, a Ju/'hoan woman who in 1978 was in her mid-thirties. N!ai tells her own story, and in so doing, the story of Ju/'hoan life over a thirty year period. "Before the white people came we did what we wanted," N!ai recalls, describing the life she remembers as a child: following her mother to pick berries, roots, and nuts as the season changed; the division of giraffe meat; the kinds of rain; her resistance to her marriage to /Gunda at the age of eight; and her changing feelings about her husband when he becomes a healer. As N!ai speaks, the film presents scenes from the 1950's that show her as a young girl and a young wife. The uniqueness of N!ai may lie in its tight integration of ethnography and history. While it portrays the changes in Ju/'hoan society over thirty years, it never loses sight of the individual, N!ai." Off-campus access is restricted to current WUSTL students, faculty, and staff.

- Teach us all: Segregation and education in the United StatesStreaming license ends: 2-09-2024. 2017. Running time: 1 hour 21 minutes. Filmmaker: Sonia Lowman. "Sixty years after the Little Rock Nine faced mobs of racially charged hatred and became cornerstones of the Civil Rights movement, TEACH US ALL examines how the present day United States education system fails to live up to that promise of desegregation as it slides back into a re-segregation of its modern schools. Due to storied histories of discriminatory housing practices which enforced segregation, case studies of the public schools in Little Rock, New York City, and Los Angeles present microcosms of the inequities and challenges manifesting in classrooms across America. Educator turnover rates become such that some schools just have to depend on warm bodies. Applying to a high school in a better neighborhood becomes more competitive than applying for an Ivy League university. The labyrinthine admissions process leaves working-class and minority parents out in the cold, and students believe their high schools are just pipelines into the prison system." Off-campus access is restricted to current WUSTL students, faculty, and staff.

- Treasure: Hate Crimes Against the Transgender Community (also known as Treasure: From tragedy to transjustice, mapping a Detroit story)Streaming license ends October 27, 2024. Running Time: 62 minutes. 2015. Filmmaker: Dream Hampton. "Shelly "Treasure" Hillard, a young African American transwoman, died violently in 2011. She is one of many, and this is her story. Director Dream Hampton does not shy away from the gruesome reality of Treasure's murder, but heart-wrenching interviews keep the focus on Treasure as a friend who conveyed "24-hour realness," as part of a vibrant local trans community and as a sister and daughter loved by a family that supported her living her truth. But hampton's deft hand also shows the viewer affirming safe spaces within the desolation of the city, such as the Ruth Ellis Center, where trans justice advocates and outreach workers teach classes and rally around each other to promote healing in the aftermath of a tragedy." Off-campus access is restricted to current WUSTL students, faculty, and staff.
- Unnatural CausesStreaming license ends: 1-11-2024. Distributed by California Newsreel. 7 videos. Total running time: 4 hours 2 minutes. Videos: In sickness and in wealth; When the bough breaks; Becoming American; Bad sugar; Place matters; Collateral damage; Not just a paycheck. "UNNATURAL CAUSES is a medical detective story out to solve the mystery of what's stalking and killing us before our time, especially those of us who are less affluent and darker-skinned. But its investigators keep peeling back the onion, broadening their inquiry beyond the immediate, physical causes of death to the deeper, underlying causes that lurk in our neighborhoods, our jobs and even back in history. The perpetrators, of course, aren't individuals but rather societal and institutional forces. And theirs are not impulsive crimes of passion. These are slow deaths the result of a lifetime of grinding wear and tear, thwarted ambition, segregation and neglect. But this is also a story of hope and possibility, of communities organizing to gain control over their destinies and their health. The good news is that if bad health comes from policy decisions that we as a society have made, then we can make other decisions. Some countries already have, and they are living longer, fuller lives as a result." Off-campus access is restricted to current WUSTL students, faculty, and staff.
