" Father's Day " is an intimate and powerful documentary exploring the legacy of absent fathers in Black communities across North America and the Caribbean.
Driven by the director’s personal journey, the film weaves together the stories of women from Canada and Guadeloupe who grew up navigating the silence, wounds, and resilience shaped by paternal absence. As their voices unfold, the film reaches back through generations, tracing how centuries of displacement and systemic rupture have left lasting imprints on family structures, memory, and identity.
Where does absence begin? And how does history continue to echo within the most intimate bonds?
Balancing personal storytelling with a broader historical lens, " Father's Day " examines the tension between love and freedom, the weight of inherited trauma, and the enduring desire to reconnect across broken lineages.
By also giving space to a new generation of present and engaged fathers, the film challenges dominant narratives and opens a path toward healing, reconciliation, and the redefinition of fatherhood.
