Join us for an exclusive Chicago community screening of The DADS—a deeply moving new documentary inspired by the Emmy Award–winning short film (Netflix, 2023).

The DADS follows fathers of trans and nonbinary children as they confront an impossible choice between country and family amid a shifting political landscape. Filmed over the course of a year—from quiet retreats in rural Maine and Minnesota to protests, family milestones, and a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decision—the film captures a moment of national reckoning with striking intimacy. Directed by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Luchina Fisher and executive produced by Dwyane Wade, this is a powerful portrait of fatherhood as an act of radical love and resistance.

Following the screening, stay for a special talkback conversation with director Luchina Fisher and executive producer Stephen Chukumba, and connect with fellow attendees at a reception featuring light bites and continued conversation.

We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful afternoon of storytelling, community, and reflection.

Tickets: $15 (includes admission and a donation to HRC)
