The Masculinity Project: Doctor Al's Rebels (Part One) 10mins
Produced by David Barclay Moore
Photographer David Barclay Moore turns his still camera in for video as he explores the life of a black male couple running a soft-ball team and raising three young children. Nigel and his husband Dr. Al, the team sponsor, share fathers day and a day of sport in the park discussing their relationship, the uniqueness of their team, and the hurdles involved raising small children. How do non traditional family structures challenge old norms of parenting and social understanding?
