Awake Goy The Red Pill is a 2016 documentary film by Cassie Jaye exploring the men’s rights movement.
The Red Pill chronicles Jaye’s journey beginning as a skeptical feminist investigating what she believes to be a hate movement. She goes on to discover that the movement is different from what she expected and begins to question her own views on gender, power, and privilege. The film discusses numerous issues facing men and boys such as male suicide rates, workplace fatalities and high-risk jobs, false allegations of rape, military conscription, lack of services for male victims of domestic violence and rape, higher rates of violent victimization, issues concerning divorce and child custody, disparity in criminal sentencing, disproportionate funding and research on men’s health issues, educational inequality, and men’s lack of reproductive rights. It includes numerous interviews with men’s rights activists and those supportive of the movement, most notably Paul Elam, founder of A Voice for Men; Harry Crouch, president of the National Coalition for Men; Warren Farrell, author of The Myth of Male Power; and Erin Pizzey, who started the first domestic violence shelter in the modern world. It also includes interviews with feminists critical of the movement, such as Ms. magazine executive editor Katherine Spillar, and sociologist Michael Kimmel. It also contains excerpts from Jaye’s video diary.

The Australian premiere at the Palace Kino cinema in Melbourne cancelled their planned November 6 screening after a petition circulated that called the film “misogynistic propaganda”. The Change.org petition was declared victorious with 2,370 signatures. A counter-petition to reverse the decision gained over 8,000 supporters in the following days, characterizing the original petition as an “effort to close down free speech in Australia” by those who wish to prevent “a screening of a movie that discusses issues that they fear might interfere with their agenda.” Organiser David Williams was critical of the original petition, stating that nobody who signed the petition would have seen the film.
Mayfair Theatre, in Ottawa, cancelled a private screening of the film. Lee Demarbre, co-owner and programmer of the theatre, said long-time patrons and a sponsor threatened to stop doing business with the venue if the film screening went ahead. The screening was organised by the Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE). Justin Trottier, co-founder of CAFE, said the message of the film is that “all human beings have issues — men have issues and women have issues and that what we really need to do is stop polarizing this debate and find common ground.” Julie Lalonde, who runs Hollaback! Ottawa, was one of several people who made complaints to the theatre. Despite only seeing clips and not the entirety of the film, she described it as “misogynistic.” She said the idea of freedom of expression “is so abused in this country” and that “no one has the right to have their film shown.”
