6 MOVIES THAT HIGHLIGHT THE MANY SIDES OF BLACK FATHERHOOD

Subject

The Evolution of Black Fatherhood in Film

Description

Depictions of Black men on-screen have evolved greatly over the years, largely in how Black fatherhood is perceived in film. There have been a multitude of movies that elaborate on the positive attributes of Black fatherhood, not on just the absentee trope that we are so often used to seeing. This realignment of narratives helps to dispel the idea that Black dads are not present in the lives of their kids and within the greater community. Black dads are complex, loving people—just like any other folks—and it’s about time the media at large displays this truth.

Below, are 6 films that beautifully show off the complexities of Black fatherhood.
