FINDING FATHERHOOD

New hope for families in Colorado

I reported for several months on Finding Fatherhood, a documentary short directed by Steve Liss that appeared on the Rocky Mountain PBS program Colorado State of Mind. The piece won the Colorado Broadcasting Association’s Excellence Award for Best Public Affairs Special. It was also nominated for a regional Emmy Award. The documentary focuses on dads who owe child support, and an innovative program in Jefferson County, Colorado that helps provide them with a second chance at fatherhood: by helping them find jobs and stable housing, which in turn enables them to pay child support and reunite with their kids.
