Justin Simms NFB Documentary ‘Sons’ Premieres on January 20th
Filmmaker Justin Simms will release his brand new National Film Board of Canada documentary ‘Sons’ on January 20th.

How do we teach our boys to become better men?
Newfoundland director Justin Simms tries to answer this vital question throughout his National Film Board of Canada (NFB) feature documentary Sons, which premieres January 20th on nfb.ca and the NFB’s streaming platform for smart TVs.
Set against the backdrop of his son’s first five years of life—from cooing infant to hurricane of a boy—Simms looks at modern masculinity through the lens of fatherhood in his deeply personal 70-minute documentary.
Community Screenings:
The NFB will also present Sons at community screenings in Toronto and Vancouver, supported by Next Gen Men, a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to creating a future where boys and men experience less pain and cause less harm by changing how the world sees, acts and thinks about masculinity.
