The City of West Hollywood’s HUMAN RIGHTS SPEAKERS SERIES presents a film screening and conversation:

HRSS: The Dads

Thursday, December 7, 2023
7 – 8:30pm

Free Admission. RSVP Requested: go.weho.org/hrss

Join us for film screening and conversation with director Luchina Fisher. THE DADS is a short documentary, executive produced by Dwyane Wade. In this gentle meditation on fatherhood, brotherhood and manhood, five fathers of trans children join Dennis Shepard – the father of slain gay college student Matthew Shepard – for a weekend fishing trip in rural Oklahoma. As the men cast their lines into the river, they find common ground across racial, geographical and generational lines: their unconditional love for their children.

Special Guest Panelists:
