The film crews interactions with the Dr. put on display the anatomy of toxic masculinities present in Mexican culture. The film offers a dynamic familiar to the non-fiction filmmaking process where subject and filmmaker struggle/clash to gain control over how the character is being seen and will be seen; on how the identity of the subject is self-created, perceived by others and then captured by camera and microphone to be used in an audiovisual product ultimately consumed by an audience.Author owns copyright, except where explicitly noted.
