What happens when mom has the big job and dad stays home with the kids? You have The Big Flip. Over 18 months and across 5 cities—Portland, D.C., Nashville, Seattle and L.A.—this timely documentary follows four American families as they navigate the trials and triumphs of at-home fatherhood and mothers as main breadwinners. We journey with each family as they tackle major life changes—a birth, a lay-off, a cross-country move, and a mid-life crisis. In a world where the majority of Americans still believe kids are better off when mom stays home, and that a good father should work hard to provide for his family, how will these families fare? Will resentments and doubt fester? Will love endure? WATCH TRAILER HERE. Join us for a special screening of The Big Flip—Stories from the Modern Home Front! We have organized this in anticipation of our Big Flipping Design Hackathon on September 23, and director Izzy Chan's talk at Golden Gate University's Braden Leadership Speaker Series on September 26. 5:30PM Pre-screening mixer6:30PM Film starts promptly7:35PM Q&A with filmmakers GGU students, please contact the Braden Leadership Speakership Series organizer for your student discount code.
