My own man – Quest for Manhood

“My Own Man” charts the path of transformation of the director David Sampliner to a more “manly man”. His journey is humorous but at times touching and confronting.The manner in which Sampliner reveals his insecurities to the whole world is a humbling experience. Add with it an interesting script; interviews with friends and family and a short duration – one has a beautiful documentary. “My Own Man” is one such work and among the best of the documentaries that we see at India Habitat Centre.
