Featuring six extraordinary fathers from across the globe, this film offers a firsthand glimpse into the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting through revealing interviews, rare home-movie footage, viral videos, and hilarious and thoughtful testimonials from some of Hollywood’s funniest celebrities, including Will Smith and Keenan Thompson as well as some real-life heroes like Robert Selby and Glen Henry.
Selby’s son was born with a heart condition that required surgery and left a scar, and his father decided to share in his son’s experience by giving himself a fake scar to match.
Now six years old, Selby’s son is thriving, but the current social climate presents a whole new set of hurdles when it comes to parenting him.
Another one of the film’s subjects, Glen Henry, has dedicated his life to fatherhood by being a stay-at-home dad to his four kids and launching a subscription-based parenting website for fathers, Beleaf In Fatherhood.
