A Boy Called Dad

A Boy Called Dad is a 2009 British drama film, produced by Made Up North Productions.

It is the feature film debut of director Brian Percival, screenwriter Julie Rutterford, producers Michael Knowles and Stacey Murray, and co-producer Mark John.

But Joe proves a feckless, unreliable man, and Robbie realizes he does not want to be the same kind of father to his own child.

Travelling cross-country, he meets Nia, a traumatized young woman who has some ugly family issues to resolve.

His search leads to a final confrontation between Joe and Robbie, in which each is forced to face up to the past.
