The Tale of the Fatherless is a profound yet heart racing film that centres around fatherlessness in the Midlands.
Aside from the many positives that surround the film, a special mention must go to the acting and scriptwriting of the film.
Stefan Davis (director and actor in the production) plays a fantastic part in depicting troubled protagonist, Tyrell. Davis acts with passion and integrity, and his performance is certainly a highlight of the film.
Parallel to this, the screenplay written by Sade Davis and Misha Elliot is a true testament to the overall message of the film. Not only do they depict issues of fatherlessness in an authentic and thought provoking way, the additional themes of race and religion shine through the script and are heard throughout the film.
The Tale of the Fatherless is a rather rare example of authentic filmmaking, and despite what may seem, it is a film with soul, unity, and family at the heart of it.
