IN SEARCH OF OUR FATHERS U.S.A. Independent Cinema - Non-Fiction

This remarkably candid documentary traces director/writer Marco Williams’s search over the course of nearly seven years for the father he never knew. Slowly, painfully, after traveling to Paris and to numerous cities in America, Marco Williams ends his search in Springfield and learns the truth about James Berry – the father whose name he didn’t learn until the age of 24. An extraordinary document of pain and loss, In Search of Our Fathers is a film few would have the courage or perseverance to make. Inspirational and immensely moving, this is personal filmmaking of the highest order. -Eddie Cockrell
