		THE BOY GAME A film by Deirdre Fishel American culture, spearheaded by the media, projects an image of manhood defined by aggression and toughness.

Using a hard hitting dramatic scenario from "off the record" interviews, "Boy Code" will engage boys in meaningful discussion about the often secretive, aggressive world they live in.
