 In "Be the Man," 17-year-old Damien never realized that the only man he s ever looked up to might not be the best example of what it means to be a man. Damien s verbally abusive father has taught him to be strong, but that tough shell means trouble when Damien starts to treat his girlfriend the same way he s seen his parents interact. "Be the Man" dramatically explores a young man s coming of age in a harsh, sometimes cruel world.
