Are you a father in the Bay Area representing yourself (pro per) in Family Court and fighting to remain present in your child’s life?
We are forming a protest choir of 20 fathers from across San Francisco, Contra Costa County, Oakland, and the greater Bay Area who are navigating the Family Court system without legal representation.
Volunteer to join our organization’s leader, Jim Breen, and 19 other fathers as we perform ‘The Impossible Dream’ from Man of La Mancha. Stand together, raise your voice, and let the family court system hear us.
Over several months, twenty fathers will come together to learn, share, connect and make their voices heard.
Learn and rehearse “The Impossible Dream” from
Man of La Mancha with an experienced choir director.
Share personal experiences in a supportive group setting led by an experienced facilitator.
Take selfie confessional videos where you can share your thoughts and feelings on your struggle to get fair and equal access to your children after a separation/divorce?
Bond in an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime brotherhood focused on the positive role that a father has in a child’s life.
Take part in the creation of a documentary film.
The choir will culminate in four peaceful public performances in front of four family law courthouses where participants will perform together as part of a series of filmed demonstrations
This entire project will be filmed for a documentary titled “Tilting at Windmills: Fathers Finding Their Voices” which will document the emotional journey of these fathers as they learn how to sing one song, take part in group therapies to reveal the psychological and emotional toll the fight for their children had on their lives and share intimate selfie videos along the way as they take part in a choir to spread awareness of the struggles fathers face in family court.

One song became the inspiration for a larger mission, bringing fathers together to find their voices, stand for hope, and keep fighting for their children.
