Inspired by the Emmy-Award winning short documentary of the same name (Netflix, 2023), The Dads follows fathers of trans 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 gender-affirming care—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 a powerful portrait of fatherhood as an act of radical love and resistance.
After the screening of THE DADS, stay for a Talk Back with a panel of Greater Boston PFLAG dads. They’ll share their own experiences raising trans and gender-expansive kids, and we’ll open it up for a real conversation about family, courage, and community.
