The latest film created by father and son duo, JD and Lincoln Knight, hopes to spark important conversations on men’s mental health and start changing lives.
TRIBE: Making Men’s Groups Meaningful will be screened at North Shore Community Centre on Saturday 29 March from 5.30pm.
Thanks to the support of Yariet Peers and the team at Community Bank Marcoola, audiences will enjoy pies from the Maleny Pie Guy and beers from Your Mates Brewing Co.
BraveBlokes.TV founder JD said, “After three decades of working in different forms of men’s work, one thing stood out – blokes are great at fixing stuff, but don’t like being fixed or told how to fix themselves.“
“What does work though, is men hearing ourselves in other men. In working on ourselves or seeking more meaning in our lives, blokes respond well to a challenge, and that works best when it is in a non-judgemental, safe environment with other blokes just like us, and it’s then a challenge by choice.
“That’s where men’s groups come into the picture, and the focus of this documentary being on the life-saving work of men’s groups in our community.“
With four out of five suicides being men, it’s clear that too many blokes are struggling, losing their way, their will, or, tragically, their lives.
That’s where JD and Lincoln step in.
Their mission isn’t just about keeping men alive, it’s about seeing them thrive.
By creating films that resonate, challenge, and inspire, they’re showing that masculinity isn’t the problem, it’s the key to the solution when shaped with meaning, connection, and purpose.
JD said, “Whist we interviewed each of the men’s groups individually, and each group had its own unique approach, there were consistent themes that emerged around how men support men, how we as a community can get upstream or ahead of the high male suicide rates, and how men deep down, want connection, need mates in their lives, and need to feel they are part of a ’tribe’.“
The upcoming screening of TRIBE is more than just a film night; it’s an opportunity for you to connect with the local men’s groups and blokes from the documentary, reflect on how to meet men where they are at, and take steps together toward a stronger community.
This is a conversation for all members of the community, including women. Everyone is invited to attend in support of the men in their lives, their families, and the broader community.
