Award-winning documentary-maker Tim Samuels fearlessly investigates what it’s like being a man in today’s woke workplaces.
And how a radical form of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) managed to capture our biggest companies and institutions… Costing billions, trampling over free speech, fairness and men’s mental health - all whilst turning out to be counterproductive.
The five-part series will reveal:
The huge mental health toll on men - who are anxious about doing or saying the wrong thing at work
The ‘reverse discrimination’ that men now face in their careers - and the crazy micro-aggressions that can cost jobs
Impact on our emergency services
Smarter ways to tackle discrimination that actually work
Despite having been Race In The Media journalist of the year for his work exposing racism, Tim tells the show he fears he’ll be labelled a ‘far-Right loonpot’ and canned for daring to question DEI.

A 30-year career was wiped out in one second over one word for a tech guy in London. Whilst a female mine worker in north America wishes DEI had never been brought in. And young men feel more adrift than ever.
This final episode takes stock of the impact that DEI has had; and whether companies are truly abandoning it - or sneakily rebranding.
The show asks: what’s a better way to genuinely address discrimination? (Goodbye DEI, hello DEO - Do Everything Obvious.)
