Brief Synopsis：
A new documentary directed by Howard Goldberg It’s our dirty little secret ?size matters. We’re obsessed with height. We like our men tall, dark and handsome but at what cost? Cultures around the world seem to share the same obsession with size: it matters, big time.

S&M: short and Male , explores the relationship between height, self-esteem and success. We‘ll meet a child on growth hormones, a short comedian who can’t get a date. We’ll also hear from eight activists?- from New York to Beijing, this new breed aims to sensitize the world to the discrimination short men are up against.

With a touch of humour, S&M: short and Male examines the obstacles that short statured men face every day in life, love and work. Though a short man cannot grow in height, he can grow inside. Filming in the US, Canada, China and Europe, we speak to men from all walks of life to unearth what makes some short men bigger than others.
