The fathers' touching efforts to care for themselves, their families, and each other offers a gripping narrative that shows how each of us has the potential to rebuild new and meaningful lives. Powerful, enlightening and hopeful, The Group will help you make sense of grief and inspire you to reimagine your life moving forward.
