"The Dads" is a full-length documentary film that follows several fathers of trans and nonbinary children as they navigate love, family, and a rapidly shifting political landscape. Filmed over the course of a year – from quiet retreats in rural Maine and Minnesota to protests, family milestones, and a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decision – the documentary offers an intimate portrait of fatherhood as an act of courage, protection, and radical love. At the same time, it captures a deeply human story at a pivotal national moment when our transgender communities are under constant attack.
Following the screening, there will be a special talkback conversation with director Luchina Fisher and executive producer Stephen Chukumba, followed by a reception with light bites and time to connect with the community.
Ticket purchase includes FREE Human Rights Campaign membership and a donation to The Dad's Foundation.
Film's approximate run time is 90 minutes
