Forum at the Wheeler Centre: What Men Really Think About
Above is a 5 min teaser of the pilot to the series - ‘What Men Really Think About’. The pilot was on the theme of Body.
Director Kim Farrant hosts a series of public forums on all the issues men usually don’t talk about. Her next forum – ‘What Men Really Think About… Fatherhood’ is to be held on 21 March, 2012. Book your tickets now from the Wheeler Centre website.
What makes a good father? What are the qualities, skills, behaviours? If our fathers are our first male role models, then who and what do we want them to be? How do you father with love and support as well as healthy boundaries? How do you protect your children and teach them resilience at the same time? How do you deal with their burgeoning sexuality? And how and when do you let them go?
Three remarkable men speak with frank honesty about their fathers’ impact on their lives, both the joy and the heartbreak; where they find themselves today as fathers; and their visions and grappling to be the fathers they always dreamed possible.
Special guests are:
Martin Flanagan, Timothy O’Leary and Kevin Fitzgerald
