With the hope of fostering a national discussion about what manhood means today, the
founders of The Good Men Foundation launched a four-pronged campaign including the charity
itself, a book, a documentary film, and a network of on-line forums. The foundation’s mission
is to support organizations that provide educational, social, financial, or legal support
to men and boys at risk.
Poulin + Morris helped the Foundation bring this multi-faceted project to fruition with
publication design, branding, digital media, DVD packaging, and print media, and also
developed a national, public service advertising campaign for the project.
The Good Men Project: Real Stories from the Front Lines of Modern Manhood, a 268-page,
softbound book, features 31 essays by a broad range of men–rich, poor, black, white, gay,
straight, urban, rural, famous, ordinary–willing to share their challenges, obstacles, triumphs,
failures, and life-changing moments to define themselves as men in the twenty-first century.
Accompanying the book is a DVD of Matt Gannon's documentary of the same name. The film mixes
riveting footage and breathtaking photography with candid narration from ten disparate men
describing the experiences that have defined their lives.
