Chained Tackles SDG 16

CHAINED explores toxic masculinity’s role in perpetuating the cycles of abuse, bullying and violence. The film shows an African American boy’s journey towards breaking these cycles, as his father seeks redemption for his abusive ways. These themes directly align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies.
