Documentary New Zealand Teen Dads
The stereotypical image of the negligent adolescent father is seemingly reinforced by the fact that just under half of the 3768 births each year to teenage mothers have registered fathers. These documentary follows three young fathers who defy the generalisation and films them as they try to balance two very different roles - that of raising a child and very nearly being a child themselves.
