Absent is a documentary about the impact of disengaged fathers. It includes interviews with people ranging from prostitutes and inner city high school kids to world champion boxer Johnny Tapia, Christian author John Eldredge and James Hetfield, front man for the heavy metal band Metallica. Justin Hunt’s interview with Hetfield, one of the most recognizable figures in rock and roll history, has been called the ’greatest Hetfield interview ever captured on film, and the new bar for every METALLICA interview from here on out’.

Proceeds from the ticket sales for this documentary will go to Advocacy for La Plata’s Fatherhood Program.
