110 teenage boys from two regions of northern Namibia reflected on pressure put by their communities, their schools and their friends on their understanding of manhood. The result of their brainstorming was turned into a poem.

Five prominent male figures (actors, models, singers) and two dancers where invited to read/ interpret the poem. ‘Be a man, as they say. It can’t be that difficult, can it?’.
