THE OTHER F WORD [2011]

What happens when you live against authority only to become an authority figure yourself?
Punk rock fathers are the subject of The Other F Word.  It goes deep into conversation with members of Pennywise, Black Flag, Devo, blink-182, The Vandals and many more, covering touchy subjects such as their own abusive or non-existant dads, to struggling to be a good parent while juggling a music career on the road. It's funny, thoughtful, grounding and packs an emotional punch I wasn't prepared for.  I never wanted to see these guys get teary eyed or choked up...but by the end I respected them all that much more.
