About the Film

Inspired by the Emmy-Award winning short documentary of the same name (Netflix, 2023), “The Dads” follows a community of fathers of transgender and nonbinary children forced to choose between country and family amid a shifting political landscape. Filmed over the course of a year—from quiet retreats in rural Maine and Minnesota to protests, family milestones, a pivotal U.S.Supreme Court decision, and the collapse of health care for transgender youth – the film captures a moment of national reckoning with striking intimacy. Directed by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Luchina Fisher and executive produced by Dwyane Wade, this is fatherhood as an act of radical love and resistance.
