Description: Using a documentary format, this video offers the comments of young fathers from many ethnic, racial and socio-economic backgrounds.  Issues covered in this video are "Who Am I?"; facing the issues of fatherhood; defining one's role as a father; and the joys of being a father.  This video is closed-captioned for viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing.   It also includes a 12-page Presenter and Viewer Guide.

• Real people tell their stories in this video.
• Well-made video.
• Deals with the emotions of finding out they are teen fathers and the implications for their lives.
• Good for young, never-married fathers.
• Young fathers discuss how they felt when they learned their girlfriends were pregnant, telling their families, how their families and friends reacted to the news.
• Focused on maintaining connections with kids and being responsible.
• Music could be better.
• Short, and that's probably good for the intended audience.
