“This made me think about life in a different way.  Profound, utterly mesmerizing and transformative.” – Jennifer Aaker, Professor, Stanford Graduate School of Business

 

Fortunate Sons is a feature-length documentary about the 1974 graduating class of the Harvard School…then a private, military school for the sons of the Los Angeles elite. Born into privilege and groomed to lead, they entered 7th grade of this all-male, military school in the cultural watershed year of 1968.

A universal story about friendship, life, loss, and renewal – culminating with the class’ 50th reunion in 2024 – it resonates powerfully with the developing national conversation about mental health, masculinity, and the power of connection and vulnerability.

In celebration of International Men’s Day, The ManKind Project and co-hosts The Good Men Project and Consciously Unbiased are proud to present an on-demand, virtual screening of this extraordinary movie. We’re excited for the opportunity to spark meaningful conversations and healing in communities around the country.

 

“Holy sh#t, this is spectacular! The world needs to see this film.” – The Good Men Project, Edie Weinstein, Mental health professional and journalist

“Brilliant…you’ve achieved something wonderful and profound. Every minute of the film is engaging. I was delighted, moved, and crying by the end.” – Steve Oney, Author “On Air” (History of NPR)
