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.
