Mancation

 A documentary by Jim Donovan

Every year for the past decade, a group of friends has set sail for a week on Lake Ontario for some r&r, good times and to talk about life, love and loss. Over the years, the journey has come to be known as… Mancation.

Two sailboats, five men, three generations come together in this year’s trip that took them on a journey southward, across Lake Ontario and back. These men come from all walks of life and have one thing in common: a love of the sea and a desire to share ideas and emotions, something men aren't always inclined to do. Mancation is a candid snapshot of Canadian masculinity in our times.
