Solo Parent

After SoloLand, experience the humour and challenge of Solo Parent, which investigates another dimension of solo living. More and more men and women are choosing to raise children alone, or even to adopt. Reconciling work and family, preserving intimacy, cultivating other relationships … the social innovators in this film juggle their time without the fall-back position that having a partner affords. Shot in Canada, the United States and Sweden, the inspiring stories in Solo Parent are put in the wider context of social and economic change by outstanding professionals who have studied the increasing trend towards solo parenting: Bernard Arcand, anthropologist; Ann Crittenden, author of The Price of Motherhood; Brook Noel, author of The Single Parents's Resource Book and Barbara Hobson, author of Making Men into Fathers.
