Mask is a movie based on the true story of a disfigured teenage boy, Rocky Dennis, who suffers from a rare deformity known as craniodiaphyseal dysplasia. Despite his appearance, Rocky finds inner beauty and develops a strong sense of self. Along the way, he falls in love, becomes a rock star, and faces prejudice and discrimination. The film portrays Rocky's journey of self-discovery, his relationship with his single mother, and his quest for acceptance and dignity.

In 1999, filmmakers Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson turned the camera on themselves and began filming their five-year-old son, Idris, and his best friend, Seun, as they started kindergarten at the prestigious Dalton School just as the private institution was committing to diversify its student body. Their cameras continued to follow both families for another 12 years as the paths of the two boys diverged—one continued private school while the other pursued a very different route through the public education system.
