How My Octopus Teacher Depicts Healthy Masculinity
In My Octopus Teacher, documentary filmmaker Craig Foster models healthy masculinity by showing us a trusting, gentle, and emotionally fulfilling bond with an octopus.

Ana returns to the village in summer with the intention of setting up a cinema in the courtyard of an old family house. One day she is working on her project and meets Lucía, an old acquaintance. She hasn't seen her for years but quickly starts to help Ana to make the cinema work properly. The screenings begin as the relationship between Ana and Lucia grows closer. Ana is worried about feeling integrated in the village, while Lucía suggests filming the different neighbours with her video camera so that they can appear in the screenings. The summer goes on and the village is emptying of people, while Ana and Lucía continue filming funny scenes. Soon it will be time for Lucia to leave the village and return to her life in the city, but Ana doesn't want to give up her new way of life in the village.

Standing up for what's right, she's met with miraculous results. She takes charge of her own destiny.
This is not a slavery story, it is a freedom story. The viewers only see Harriet as a slave for the first few minutes of the film. To me, it felt like watching the origin story of a superhero…which is both good and bad.
