You are invited to experience a new documentary about American boy culture and the need for male mentors. After two years of local filming, "Journeyman" will dare to explore why male depression and violence has been escalating in America, and how mentoring changes lives. Created by director Kevin Obsatz and producer Charlie Borden, Journeyman explores experiences of mentoring, rites of passage, and male culture in America.

Journeyman focuses on the worlds of two boys, Mike and Joe. It introduces us to their families, their strengths, their limitations, and the challenges each face in overcoming obstacles as they move from boyhood toward manhood. The film features Michael Gurian (The Good Son, The Wonder of Boys, Dr. Michael Obsatz (Raising Nonviolent Children in a Violent World), Dr. Barbara Coloroso, (Kids Are Worth It), Dr. David Walsh (The Selling Out of America's Children, Why Do They Act that Way?

With these experts, Journeyman studies the phenomena of "at risk" boys plus issues in American male culture. The film discovers experiments to reinvent male communities by giving boys what they need to grow into mature manhood. Finally, Journeyman follows its' characters into an authentic "Rites of Passage" where mentoring from a community of men and boys create a transformation experience for young boys entering adolescence.
