THE FATHERS PROJECT

“A raucous and occasionally heartbreaking what-if“ - San Francisco Chronicle

Imagine a world where AIDS never happened and our heroes lived. Who would they be? Who would we be? Fathers explores these questions by weaving history, current gatherings and fiction to create a vision of queer utopia.

Written, directed & edited by Leo Herrera.

FATHERS is funded through community support. Donations through the LGBT Asylum Project are Tax-Deductible.
