See this film

Our family courts are heavily biased in favor of women, often assuming that all men are deadbeats or criminals. Not only does this problem rob fathers and children of cherished time together, it has wider consequences for society as a whole.
For tens of millions children, and their fathers, a national dialogue on the most pressing issue our society faces today can't come soon enough.
That’s from the press release for a new documentary film, Guilty Until Proven Innocent which explores child custody from the perspective of normal, stand up guys who've been shafted by our legal system.

Watch the trailer below. The film “shines as a beacon of hope for those parents and children caught up in the nightmare world of family court and child support agencies.”

It’s about time. Of course it’s only available in DVD right now from the film’s website. Sadly, I doubt this film will ever see the inside of a theater. It's a shame. This film needs as wide an audience as possible.
