Having become a father himself in his mid-twenties, Joe Swash sets out to understand the unique challenges facing young dads in Britain today. He meets four men who are navigating the financial pressures, social stigma, and profound emotional growth that come with fatherhood at a young age, offering a rarely seen glimpse into their world.
Through his characteristically warm and honest approach, Joe opens up a conversation about the realities of being a young father. He confronts the isolation and difficulties they face while also highlighting the importance of positive male role models. The documentary questions why these young men are often forgotten and what it really means to be a dad today.
Joe Swash: Forgotten Young Dads airs on BBC Three HD at 8:00 PM, Monday 20 October.
