Sensitive Men Rising – the Documentary first came to our attention when we wrote about Luke Goss being a Highly Sensitive Person. At the time, we didn’t find any information regarding when it was set to launch.
All we had to go on was a trailer on Dr. Tracy Cooper’s YouTube channel.
But now there is an official website, social media accounts, a fundraising page, and updates on the production process.
And it is through these updates that we now know Sensitive Men Rising – the Documentary will premiere on Sunday, June 18th 2023.
What is Sensitive Men Rising?
Remember Sensitive – The Untold Story? It’s a documentary film about the Highly Sensitive Person featuring Alanis Morissette, Dr. Elaine N. Aron, and Dr. Bianca Acevedo.
It first premiered in 2015 and is directed by Emmy Award-winning director, Will Harper. And it continues to create awareness and inspire millions of sensitive people worldwide.
Now, Sensitive Men Rising – the Documentary is taking a similar approach.
It’s a documentary film sharing the stories and emotional experiences of Highly Sensitive Men. It will feature a variety of sensitive men, including Luke Goss, Dr. Tracy Cooper, William Allen, Tom Falkenstein, and Boy Abunda, among many others.
And it aims to achieve the following:
- Shatter Myths Using over 25 years of High Sensitivity research, Sensitive Men Rising will demystify myths, misconceptions, sayings and stereotypes linked to highly sensitive men.
- Acknowledge the suffering and bliss of highly sensitive men – We live in a world full of perceptions on how a man should be and act. This documentary will show the ups and downs in the path of sensitive men towards self-discovery and acceptance.
- Recognize the neurological and cognitive impacts of High Sensitivity in men – How does being a Highly Sensitive Person affect you as a man? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Sensitive Men Rising will answer these questions and more.
