A Letter From the Fathers is a deeply personal and emotionally rich documentary exploring the complex realities of Black fatherhood. Told through the eyes and voices of a novelist, an actor, a photographer, and an entrepreneur, the film captures honest reflections on love, legacy, identity, and emotional presence.

 

Each man opens a window into his world — what it means to show up, to fall short, and to try again. Through poetic visuals, still photography, and voiceover narration, A Letter From the Fathers unfolds as a collective letter — a cinematic tribute to their children, their pasts, and the fathers they’re becoming.

This is not just a film about dads. It’s a film about the quiet revolutions that happen when men choose love, softness, and accountability.
