Too often overlooked in research and marginalised in society, many young dads across the UK are quietly rewriting the rulebook on fatherhood.\n\nIn this revealing documentary, Joe Swash, who became a first-time father in his mid-twenties, meets four young men navigating the challenges of parenting.\n\nFrom 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. With his trademark warmth and honesty, Joe explores what it really means to be a young dad today, and why the conversation about positive male role models is needed now more than ever.
