CGiii Comment

A devastatingly sad film.

A film that should never have been made...if only, the world was a better place!

Their pain...is palpable.

No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

It centers on six dads as they gather for a fishing trip. We learn the love for their trans and LGBTQ children, their fears for their kids' safety, and the urgency to fight for the ground on which they all stand.
