Vymazávajíc otce. Nový film o šesti argentinských otcích a jejich příběhy při snaze o výchovu vlastních dětí. Má být uvolněn - a dostupný - zatím v Argentině - od 2. října:
In Argentina, fathers are punished for wanting to be active parents to their children after a divorce. Latino men are stereotyped as “machistas”, but many dads in Argentina want to actively participate in their children´s lives after divorce. The justice system favors women and assumes that men are always violent aggressors, and allows fake accusations to prosper. As a result, many men are unjustly prevented from seeing their children.
Erasing Dad is a 78 minute long documentary that follows six fathers who are fighting to raise their children after a divorce and features interviews with professionals who admit, on camera, that they do everything possible to keep children and fathers separated.
Co-Directors Ginger Gentile (from New York) and Sandra Fernández Ferreira are available for English language interviews.
After a theatrical release, the film will be available on the internet, with English subtitles, and we invite people to host screenings. Theatrical release in Argentina: October 2nd, 2014.
BACKGROUND ON CENSORSHIP AND ERASING DAD:
Censorship is not common in Argentina, yet one film has recently become the subject of prior restraint. The documentary Borrando a Papá (Erasing Dad) was originally set to premiere on August 28th, but it was suddenly pulled down at the behest of a non-governmental organization that criticized its release.
