ALL MAN: The International Male Story journeys across three decades of the catalog’s unlikely but lasting impact on fashion, masculinity, and sexuality in America. Gene Burkard, a once-closeted Midwesterner and GI, found freedom in San Diego, where he transformed men’s fashion into something cosmopolitan, carefree, and trend-setting. International Male reached gay and straight customers alike as it redefined images of masculinity in American culture, generating revenue and circulation in the millions.

This character-driven documentary crafts a portrait of a band of outsiders who changed the way men would look—at themselves, at each other—and how the world would look at them. This is their story—a modern day fairy tale about a dream that really did come true.

“A highly pleasurable ride through late twentieth century fashion that’ll delight those who cherished their time with International Male as much as those discovering it for the first time.” – James Kleinmann, The Queer Review
