About this movie

The question 'Where's Daddy?' may sound infantile, but it's as much of an adult question that can be asked, especially when it comes to African-American men and the child support system.

Ratings and reviews

As an English teacher, I teach my class to identify bias. I don't think this has an objective point of view. Almost every single interview was from the same perspective; in order to truly show an objective point of view there needs to be interviews from all different sides of the situation: the prosecuting lawyers (only defending attorneys were interviewed), judges who hand out the sentences, more than one mother, and some of the children. This really missed the mark for me.

This is a wonderful way to introduction to this topic, I would have like this to be a mini-series with 6 to 7 episodes. the mini-series could have longer, indepth and detail interviews as well as perpective from the children and jugdes of the system. the mini-series should go more indept of the effect of men, women and children, even the professional of the system like the judges. as for the show, it demostrated what many men, go through when it come to their children and the hard choices they have to make. it also shown the system (both the court and everyday) holds and continues the old ideas of the black man, and thier place in the family. thank you for this and the time spend in this, i would be sharing this with others and pray more like this is shown

Absolutely outstanding and very balanced film that addresses an issue in the African-American community very few would be erudite to address. One would have to be nearsighted, blind, or socially/culturally sheltered to miss all of the intricacies that were offered here. There were perspectives from those affected by the system, male and female, as well as a plethora of authoritative figures. In addition, there is a brilliant barbershop scene that covers territory never seen or heard before on this topic. This really hit the mark for me, for the film had no bias in its approach.
