Black Lives Matter Virtual Event: 5 Black Fathers – A documentary.
Wednesday 30th October: 1pm – 2.30pm
Whilst many of the issues that Fathers face is universal, Black Fathers undoubtedly face an extra set of challenges that are rarely explored or understand in mainstream media.
Black men have been disproportionally represented in the Criminal Justice System and Mental Health provisions, as a result of the structural, systemic racism and microaggressions that they experience daily.
As part of Black History month, 5 Black Fathers is a documentary that highlights and shares some of the experiences of Black Fathers, with a view to redefine the narrative of who they are.
This 67-minute documentary made by David Mullings, Fathers Inclusion Manager for Camden; captures a variety of stories, experiences, and journeys of fatherhood.
Join us for this exclusive online event in support of this year’s Black History Month theme “Reclaiming Narratives” and join the many others who have viewed this informative and impactful documentary.
“Very powerful peace of work , feel very privileged to have watched this documentary. Hearing these men’s voices is rare in our profession, we only hear the voices of the mothers. Hearing their challenges in parenting in our society has left a lasting impact. Thank you”
“Put this documentary out to the wider public. People need to see and know about what is happening in the real world.”
“I think it is an important issue that needs to be centred on prime-time TV. The real-life challenges of Black men needs to be acknowledged, as do the challenges of Black women. More screenings and bigger venues, more networking.”
