Short Summary

The images of Black American fathers we see today are negative, unflattering, and...untrue. We are painted the picture of a lazy man with no goals, who only lives to impregnate a woman and leave her to raise the child by herself.  We are told the Black father is absent in his kid's lives and basically uninterested in being a dad. We Are Fatherhood will show the truth: Black men are loving, attentive, and involved dads.  By talking to fathers, experts, and cultural influencers around the country, we will show that the images fed to us on a daily basis are a distortion of the truth.

What We Need & What You Get

Our team is full of expert movie makers and we make compelling content. Over a decade in the industry has given us the experience to make a high quality documentary that will represent this topic admirably. Making a documentary costs money, and we need help to make it happen. Here's what the funds will go towards:

  • Filming on Location 
  • Equipment Rental 
  • Travel
  • Lodging for Crew
  • Post-Production
  • Musical Score
  • Rights & Clearances 


This is Important!

This isn't just a documentary for the Black community. By shining a light on this topic, we will also show how images are manipulated and spread in our country that are untrue. By seeing into the lives of our subjects and hearing the discussions of our experts, the audience will have enough information to see reality.   


Other Ways You Can Help

Helping make this documentary a reality comes in many forms. If you can't contribute financially, there are many other ways to help such as:
  • Sharing the campaign on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc. That doesn't mean just pasting the link, but sending the link directly to friends and family. Also, post it to the pages of your favorite celebrities. If enough people send it, they just might share to their fans. 
  • Offer your expertise and connections. Maybe you're an expert at publicity and can help get the word out, or maybe you're best friends with a journalist at the Huffington Post who will write about it. Whatever you can do to help move the project forward is always appreciated.
