Whether by choice or necessity, more single men are raising children than ever before. Life with Dad explores this growing phenomenon through intimate portraits of three single dads at different stages of fatherhood.

Marc led a fast-paced life as a journalist before discovering he was the father of an infant girl. He chose to raise her alone instead of placing her for adoption. After Tom's wife died in childbirth, he devoted his life to raising three children. Ross, as the sole supporter of his kids after a divorce, struggled to make ends meet after suffering a work-related accident.

Through candid interviews with these dads and their children, along with lively glimpses into their daily lives, Life with Dad provides a thought-provoking look at modern concepts of masculinity, fatherhood and family.
