A short video that mixes documentary footage of a rally of the Promise Keepers, an Evangelical Christian movement for men, with scripted footage of a radical Feminist group attempting to disrupt the rally, and scripted footage of the filmmakers struggling to find a focus for their film. This piece criticizes the Promise Keepers, to be sure, but it also seems to take a jab or two at radical feminists, and even filmmakers. Not sure though, the viewer must decide for her/himself.
