No Men Beyond This Point Trailer Is Sure to Get Men’s Rights Activists Up in Arms
I need to see this immediately. Because of reasons.
I hadn’t heard about this one until an email landed in my inbox today and boy am I glad it did. Here’s some info from the press release.

Imagine a world where, since 1953, women have been able to reproduce without men and they are no longer giving birth to male babies. Now, over 60 years later, this deadpan mockumentary follows the youngest man still alive – 37 year-old Andrew Myers. Working as a housekeeper for a family of women, Andrew finds himself at the center of a battle to prevent men from going extinct. NO MEN BEYOND THIS POINT is a feature film that asks the question, what would the world be like if women were in charge?Written and directed by Mark Sawers, NO MEN BEYOND THIS POINT is produced by Galen Fletcher and Kaleena Kiff and executive produced by Mark Sawers.
And here’s the home release cover.
Anyone seen it on the festival circuit?
I feel like nobody is going to come out well in this.
Even if women did have control over society and reproductive rights, I don’t think we would chose to eliminate men. This feels more like’s it’s mocking to potential power of women, rather than realistically depicting the possibility. Seems like sensationalism….
Looks interesting
Funny that no one has mentioned the irony of the fact that a man wrote the script and directed the film. Still, should be an entertaining film…
No one has yet dared to comment.
Challenge accepted. :)
