SUMMARY:Sons - Niagara Falls Public Library
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming\, the Niagara Falls
  Public Library will present Sons as part of the monthly series from the 
 Niagara African Caribbean Culture Organization (NACCO).\n\nSons | Justin S
 imms | 2024 | 70 min\n\nIt’s a boy!  \n\nMarch 2016. Justin Simms be
 comes a dad.\n\nBut his joy is tinged with unease. Little Jude enters the 
 world at a time when traditional notions of masculinity are being conteste
 d as never before. How can he teach his boy to be a good man?\n\nWith Son
 s\, eight eventful years in the making\, the Newfoundland-based filmmaker 
 confronts the challenge with imagination and creative flair\, crafting a b
 ig-hearted documentary essay on parenting\, patriarchy—and the pain and 
 pleasure of guiding boys through the turbulent cultural waters of the earl
 y 21st century.\n\nWoven throughout is luminous informal footage of Jude
 ’s early years\, charting his trajectory from helpless newborn to hurric
 ane of a boy\, obsessed with dinosaurs and superheroes.\n\nHow can fathers
  steer sons away from negative models of masculinity and help them become 
 caring adults? What does it even mean to be a “good man”? Isn’t it e
 nough to nurture basic human qualities—empathy\, confidence\, common dec
 ency—without dwelling on gender?\n\nJoin the Niagara African Caribbean C
 ulture Organization (NACCO) each month for a movie from the National Film 
 Board of Canada (NFB).\n\nSons | OFFICIAL TRAILER on Vimeo\n\n---\n\nFREE 
 SCREENING\nTo have more information on this screening\, consult the librar
 y’s website.
