MAN UP

 

3-part Documentary Series

The stereotypical Aussie man is strong, stoic and tough as nails. He laughs in the face of fear; and if life ever gets him down he drinks a cup of concrete and hardens the fuck up. But with male suicide rates three times that of women, it appears the pressure to harden up may be making some men crack. Enter Gus Worland, co-host of the Sydney Triple M Grill team and unofficial bloke expert. He’s not a shrink, but he talks, and listens, to men everyday for a living; and he genuinely cares about their welfare. A few years back Gus’ was devastated by the loss of a close mate to suicide. Now Gus in on a mission to find out what it really means to be a man today and how the average Aussie bloke is actually faring.
