Library Journal

The Evolution of Dad is an informative, engaging, and heartwarming documentary that takes a comprehensive look at fatherhood in contemporary American society. It masterfully explores issues of care, gender roles, masculinity, and work-family balance. There is a judicious mix of interviews with experts, people on the street, and dads in the trenches. The film is very accessible but also provides material for more sophisticated viewers to think about and debate.

The Evolution of a Dad is a groundbreaking, heart-warming, and sometimes heart-wrenching documentary about the changing roles and the struggles of fathers in our country today. Solidly based on social science research, the documentary is an invaluable resource for college professors in psychology and sociology. Accompanied by a discussion guide for college students, the film is a catalyst for lively discussions about the controversial issues and obstacles confronting fathers in contemporary families. By presenting research and statistics along with dozens of fathers’ stories, Glazer has created a thought-provoking teaching tool for professors and workshop leaders.

Glazer has an amazing way of integrating accurate information about evolving gender roles and fathering with truly moving personal stories of men and their families. The field of men, masculinity, and fatherhood just got a major growth hormone boost with this movie.
