How often do we see father figures earnestly sharing their struggles and uplifting their children? This is a beautifully rendered glimpse into what it's like - how challenging, how joyful - for grown men in the United States to support their offspring as they discover who they are. Within a few minutes, the audience is rooting for the people briefly profiled and the relationships they're weaving onscreen; by the end I found myself invested by proxy in the needs and feelings of the interviewees' children, as well. A rare and tender portrait of parental acceptance - I only wish it had been longer!
