Beard Club::
A documentary about the social politics of facial hair.
Examining the ideas and ideals of masculinity, gender, and identity.
Almost every man has a beard or mustache story. Each day, every man must decide either to shave or not to shave. The act can be one of conformity, rebellion, laziness, or transition.
Beard Club is a celebration of facial hair expression.
The film explores the many ways facial hair is used to convey
status, indicate group identity, and to profile and discriminate
against people. Men from different regions, religious backgrounds,
age groups, and historical periods share their stories and personal
motivations - revealing hidden meanings behind the fashion.
