About Our Documentary

Redemption Road: Rural Fathers and the Long Way Back Home is a National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse documentary that follows fathers from rural America as they reflect on separation, addiction, incarceration, repair, and the difficult work of returning to their children with honesty and consistency. Through the voices of Zach Bradshaw, Jamie Gamble, and Joseph Stiltner, the film explores what it takes for fathers to rebuild trust, stay present, and create a new path forward for their families. Hosted by Kenneth Braswell, the documentary moves beyond personal testimony to open a larger national conversation about fatherhood, family connection, and the long road many men travel to become the fathers their children need.
