SUMMARY:Sons
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Nickel Independent Film Festival\, The Room
 s is hosting a free screening of the following NFB film\, followed by a Q&
 amp\;A with filmmaker Justin Simms.\nSons (Justin Simms | 2024 | 70 mins)
 \nSet against the backdrop of his son’s first five years of life—from 
 cooing infant to hurricane of a boy—filmmaker Justin Simms looks at mode
 rn masculinity through the lens of fatherhood as he asks an increasingly u
 rgent question: How do we teach our boys to be better men?\n\nWith Sons\,
  eight eventful years in the making\, the Newfoundland-based filmmaker con
 fronts the challenge with imagination and creative flair\, crafting a big-
 hearted documentary essay on parenting\, patriarchy—and the pain and ple
 asure of guiding boys through the turbulent cultural waters of the early 2
 1st century.\n\nTo reserve your free\, ticket visit The Rooms website here
