Description: Man Up & Go Why would an unlikely group of American men travel to the depths of third world countries such as Ethiopia and Uganda, and join with the African men? To launch a movement called “Man Up” and to go on an adventure of a lifetime. Their mission was simple: to open their hearts, love big and to be fathers to the fatherless. "The Man Up and Go" story began when Roger Gibson and his American family went to pick up their adopted daughter, Zoie, in Ethiopia only to find she was 6-months-old…but she was only 7 pounds and deathly sick. Roger asked himself, “Is there a way out of this?” He called his dad asking for support but heard words that would sink deep into his core: “Roger you need to man up! If Zoie dies in your arms tonight, at least she would die in the arms of a father.” Roger couldn’t get “man up” out of his head and knew he had to do something radical: to inspire men to be better role models, husbands and fathers. Man Up, the movement, was soon born. This film follows the first Man Up team made up of multiple and diverse men of different ages from the beginning, starting in the USA. They travel to Africa, where they visit secret children’s prisons, orphanages, isolated tribes and a garbage dump that thousands call home. The men cook, clean and gather food. They wash the feet of desperate women and shave and feed lepers. Playing games and loving orphans, the men quickly became fathers and mentors to thousands, even if just for a day. The Man Up and Go brothers literally did man up and go only to discover their own lives were impacted the most. In the end, the American team traveled back home to their comfortable lives...but will they ever be the same?
