Here is info on the new film from the Fathers' Forum

Becoming a Father takes you inside the Fathers’ Forum and offers an intimate “glimpse” at the feelings men express with each other about parenting. In the “confidential” and private setting of Fathers’ Forum groups, new dads share their struggles, fears and successes at fatherhood.

Here is a preview of "Becoming a Father"....a new film/dvd from the Fathers' Forum.

An Excellent Glimpse into Contemporary Fatherhood,    When a woman has a new baby, it almost goes without saying that she will join some form of a mothers' group where both the practical and emotional aspects of parenting will be discussed. For fathers, however, no such tradition exists and while more is expected of fathers than ever before in history, the role models for this kind of involvement are nowhere to be found. In Bruce Linton’s, Becoming a Father, a voice is finally given to contemporary fatherhood. We are given a first hand glimpse into some of the struggles, dreams, hopes and confusion that new fathers may face. Dr. Linton helps the men in his groups examine how their relationship with their own dads may impact their expectations around parenting, the value of taking time to consciously consider the choices one makes as a parent, and the shear enormity of the job of parenting. This film is a much needed documentation of the "real" experience of fatherhood, and will be of great value to new and expecting fathers as well as their partners.
