This is the first episode of White Men Can't Work! - a five-part series...

In which 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.

Tim meets Chas Bayfield - a top advertising creative whose career was flying until one day his agency decided it was too white and male.

What followed was a brutal person takedown - from which Chas is still recovering.

With Harvard professor Frank Dobbin, Tim charts the roots of the diversity movement back to the era of 1960s segregation.

But this is a story of how an anti-discrimination movement born in that era of Jim Crow and JFK became co-opted by a divisive ideology - blowing its George Floyd moment to make that much-needed difference.

Merely questioning diversity dogma is curtains for your career post-MeToo and Black Lives Matter - but men from the US and UK now speak out on this show.

• 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

Tim has reported around the world for the BBC, National Geographic channel and Free Press - winning three Royal Television Society awards and best documentary at the World Television Festival. He is the author of the best-selling book on masculinity Who Stole My Spear? (published in US as Future Man).

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.
