Sons

1:00 PM – Saturday February 22, 2025 – Belleville Public Library

Justin Simms, a Newfoundland-based filmmaker, focuses on his son Jude’s first five years from birth to dynamic young boy. In a time when traditional ideas of masculinity are in flux, Simms asks: ”How do we teach our boys to become better men?”

The film is a tender, personal look at being a parent of a young boy today and preparing them for a changing future.

“…sons aren’t raised in isolation. They’re a product of a society, and it’s a shared responsibility to help the seeds grow.” Pat Mullen, POV
