Ep 80 - Happy Sad Man with director, Genevieve Bailey

November 13, 2022 • Mikey Ellis

In this episode I talk with director, Genevieve Bailey about the power of storytelling. We talk specifically about the stories we tell about men, mental health, masculinity and diversity. This conversation was inspired by her film, Happy Sad Man.

Happy Sad Man is a beautiful documentary and it's an important one. With deft sensitivity it features the stories of five men who each have various experiences of living with mental health challenges.

I hope you enjoy this conversation and I hope it's a catalyst for more meaningful conversations for you and the people you love.
