You can now watch all 4 of our @BBCAfrica short films exploring aspects of masculinity across the continent. The first was this beautiful but devastating film by @petemurimi, who investigated an unreported #mentalhealth crisis in rural Kenya #BBCAfricaEye

From the #DRC, @aaronajourno looked at a remarkable initiative by @ilotmuthaka and @Comen_RDC to end sexual violence #CongoMensNetwork

We looked the role of male mentorship in the lives of boys - and met one young man (@mickmigwan) whose life was turned around in part thanks to the friendship and support of a father figure (@MwauraFredrick)

Finally, from South Africa's Eastern Cape, @ManRambling & @shaunswingler brought you this beautiful coming-of-age story about a 13-year-old Xhosa boy on the cusp of manhood, and on the verge of making it as a professional jockey

Thanks to all the filmmakers, to the contributors who shared these stories with us, and to all of you who have discussed these issues so thoughtfully on YouTube & Instagram & Facebook.

#BBCAfricaEye is back with a full length documentary later this week
