A luminous and courageous documentary that confronts the pain of paternal absence, FATHER’S DAY seeks understanding, agency, and reconciliation. Sparked by her father’s departure when she was two years old, O’Shun sets out to examine why so many fathers are absent in Black communities across North America — and how this absence shapes daughters, families, and collective futures.
