Domestic Violence and Family Estrangement – NOT ALL HEROES & SKINNED KNEES
Season 3
Episode 303
A quarter of youth in the U.S. have become estranged with one or both parents. Fathers, in particular, are more likely to be cut off. In NOT ALL HEROES, filmmaker Connor Strange attempts to connect with an absentee father whom he’s idolized since childhood. Then, in an encore broadcast of SKINNED KNEES, Olive Van Eimeren attempts to reconcile with an abusive dad after a decade of silence.
