Approximately 10 million—one in eight—of the nation’s children have experienced parental incarceration at some point in their lives. Rates are exacerbated in poor and minority communities.

” For me this was a reality of the environment I was raised in. I had numerous amounts of friends and family members that had fathers that were incarcerated. I would hear from them a scaled down version when I was younger. Your play gave me the real version from an adult perspective. Thank you for creating this play for the world to know. – Vash Turner “
Vash Turner, CEO
” I encouraged every man in my life to take their sons to see the play. It's not only for Black fathers and sons though…it's for Fathers and Sons… I salute you Coley and Ahmarr. -June Hawkins “
June Hawkins, Citizen
” But never have I been so moved by a film as I was by this one. After I reviewed it, I told our staff we had to do something we'd never done before–partner with its creators to produce a version of it that others can use in their work with dads, their children, and their families. -Chris Brown “
