      abstract = {Manislam boldly examines the burden of manhood within  Islamic cultures and questions the role of men in  contemporary Islam. In Muslim culture, there is no question  that boys have more privileges than girls, as Islam has  always been a patriarchy. This documentary questions if  male privilege is empowering contemporary Muslim men to be  happy and fulfilled. Filmmaker Nefise Ozkal Lorentzen set  out on a quest to find men willing to tell their stories  and discuss the complex topics of democracy, equality,  violence, oppression, and male sexuality. We see a man in  Kuwait creating a comic and cartoon series about  superheroes. We see a man in Bangladesh travelling from one  village to another, educating a community by teaching them  to play a board game. We see a man in Indonesia encouraging  other men to wear mini-skirts. These men, spread across  different countries, are all working, in their own way,  towards the common goal of reforming Islam and changing the  role of masculinity in their culture. Without animosity or  antagonism towards Islam or towards men, this unique  documentary explores the concept of liberating men from  patriarchy to lead them towards a contemporary, progressive  Islam that provides freedom and happiness for both  genders.},
