In the Role of the Father

“IN THE ROLE OF THE FATHER” is a feature-length documentary film telling a story of several repeat offenders from the Jastrzębie-Zdrój prison who have been sentenced, among other things, for child support evasion. They get selected to participate in a pilot rehabilitation programme that involves taking care of, working with, and playing with patients in the OREW centre for disabled children in Żory. The film depicts some moving and amazingly positive results, as well as some strong accompanying emotions, of this meeting of the two completely different worlds.
