Daddy Bear
A film about fathers who show up.
A Nigerian family drama set in Abuja. After losing his wife during childbirth, Fahd refuses to remarry and has to learn to raise his newborn daughter and his pre-teen daughter while navigating grief, work and the everyday demands of family life.
What Daddy Bear is
One film. One mission. One growing community.
The film
A story about fathers who show up. The trailer, synopsis and cast land on The Film page as post-production delivers them.
The mission
Three women, a grant, and a mission to celebrate the fathers who don’t make headlines. Read the full story on About & Mission.
The community
Screenings in cinemas, mosques, schools and community centres, and a growing list of people who believe fathers who show up deserve to be celebrated.
