SXSW 2026 - The Dads and Adam's Apple

Send us Fan MailThe Dads is a documentary that follows a group of dads forming a movement to support their trans and gender expansive children amid the rising anti-trans legislation and hostility in the US. We are joined by director Luchina Fisher and subject/producer Stephen Chukumba to discuss why they felt compelled to turn their short film into a feature, how Stephen became a producer on the project, and the beautiful responses they've gotten from people from around the world.Adam's Apple chronicles the lives of a transgender teen and his mom, showing an intimate portrait of a family in transition. We are joined by the mother and son filmmaking duo director Amy Jenkins and subject/writer/composer Adam Sieswerda to discuss being raw and unfiltered on camera, why this is a universal story, and the importance of "showing your ass moments".  Follow director Luchina Fisher on IGFollow subject/producer Stephen Chukumba on IGFollow Adam's Apple on IGFollow director Amy Jenkins on IGFollow writer/composer Adam Sieswerda on IGThank you to our sponsors, Standard Deviant Brewing and The Tech We WantAudio Produced by Jeff Hunt of Storied: SFCo-hosted by John Wildman of Films Gone WildSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!
