Joe Swash: Forgotten Young Dads

Too often overlooked in research and marginalised in society, many young dads across the UK are quietly rewriting the rulebook on fatherhood. In this revealing documentary, Joe Swash, who became a first-time father in his mid-twenties, meets four young men navigating the challenges of parenting. From stigma and financial strain to isolation and emotional growth, this is the rarely seen lived experience of men in their teens and twenties entering into fatherhood.
