Manosphere Messiahs

BBC Eye investigates the rise of the global manosphere, meeting the influencers cashing in, their devoted followers, and the women paying the price.

It started in the West with influencers like Andrew Tate. Now the Manosphere has gone global - with copycats from Africa to Latin America attracting huge audiences and the cash to match. In this investigation, reporter Jacqui Wakefield explores the booming industry in Kenya and Mexico, where social media algorithms are fuelling a growing gender divide. She meets the influencers, their devoted fans and speaks to some of the women paying the price.
