Shepherd (2019): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2019, Shepherd is a drama film directed by Clayton Waddell, running about 11 minutes. “SHEPHERD follows Darcy, an awkward 17 year old boy, on a drunken night out with his brother and team mates where he finds himself pressured to be the very type of man he despises.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. The film is a study into the animal kingdom of men, exploring toxic masculinity and the idea of what it is to be a man within society. Shepherd explores the implications of the pack mentality and how it can affect the individual; what can happen when one is pressured by societal expectations, and how within it all, we can lose sight of our moral guidelines, who we are and what we want to be.
