There is something very special about the way a child experiences the excitement and adventure of a relationship with their Dad.

I’ve just returned home from presenting at a couple of conferences on the east coast: National Men’s Health Forum & Infant and Early Childhood 
Social & Emotional Wellbeing Conference. On the flight home I took up a colleague’s suggestion to watch a documentary style movie, “Stories We Tell”.  This powerful portrayal of a family happens to capture really well the heart of the messages I gave in my talks.

Sarah Polley’s film manages to give insight into the multiple meanings and truths her family construct around their relationships. In particular, she takes us on her journey of discovering who her father is.
