Man Amok

From the woman-blog "Broadsheet" at Salon.com, where I get a lot of my man-related news, the story of a man so confused about his role in society and relationships that he went on a shooting spree at a gym, targeting women, specifically.

Sure, he needed therapy, maybe medication, maybe incarceration - but he also would have benefited from some kind of cultural conversation about what the hell he was supposed to do with his anger and frustration (not to mention probably shame and loneliness), besides go out and kill people...

Which is exactly the ambition of this documentary - to jumpstart that conversation; the sooner, the better.
