Grab your lawn chair and head to Hemisfair Park for an evening of community, film, and conversation.
The Dads is an Emmy Award-winning short documentary (Netflix, 2023) that chronicles fathers of trans and nonbinary children as they are forced to choose between country and family amid a new right-wing administration and a conservative Supreme Court. Filmed across retreats in rural Maine and Minnesota, protests, family milestones, and a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decision, the film captures a national reckoning with remarkable intimacy — directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Luchina Fisher and executive produced by Dwyane Wade.
Come early to explore the Resource Fair, where you can connect with local organizations and grab some swag before the movie begins.
