PFLAG West Chester/Chester County and the LGBT Equality Alliance of Chester County invite you to a powerful community screening of The Dads - a feature documentary that follows a community of fathers of transgender and nonbinary children as they navigate love, fear, and fierce advocacy at a moment when their kids’ rights and safety are under attack. This screening is proud to be part of the LGBT Equality Alliance’s OutFest series, celebrating LGBTQ+ stories and community throughout the year.
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 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 fatherhood as an act of radical love and resistance
