GOOD MEN– Official Selection at Palm Springs International Film Festival
The Californer/10298635

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Californer -- GOOD MEN, a documentary film by Director Bobby Roth, has been officially selected to compete at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, taking place January 2-13, 2025. This prestigious inclusion highlights the film's wide range and ability to reach diverse audiences.

"Men, and 'why we are as we are,' has been my focus as a filmmaker for fifty years, THE BOSS' SON, HEARTBREAKERS, THE MAN INSIDE, JACK THE DOG, MANHOOD, BERKELEY, and PEARL are all pictures exploring the ethos of men. I grew up in the seventies and was active in both the 'anti-war' and 'free love' movements before I really understood their depth and consequences. I am trying to put this all into a social context for future generations, as well as for my own understanding," said Roth.
