CALM THE F**K DOWN

Calm The F**K Down is a documentary that explores what drives some men to hurt those they purport to love. In a workshop setting, four female actors develop male personas and step into scenarios based on actual family violence events – as the perpetrator. The actors’ deep dive is informed by the insights of a men’s behavioural change specialist. Capturing this role reversal experiment results in a documentary that reveals the emotional world these violent men inhabit and the effect of societal expectations on some men, to be what it takes to ‘be a man’.
