A word from Dan

I've poured everything into making a film about a generation gripped by sesh culture. The men battling demons they don't even recognise, and the women fighting to hold their families together.

It's about what happens when shame and guilt become too much. I know, because I nearly lost my own battle. This is my story, dramatised.

When you watch it, you'll recognise someone you love who might be living this reality right now.

This film is for them.

Daniel O'Reilly · Writer, Producer, Richie

M.A.T.E

Made in partnership with Men and their Emotions, the men's mental health charity, giving the people it supports the chance to be part of the production.
