Sons & Mothers

Sons & Mothers is an irreverent, tender and humorous portrait of an all-male theatre troupe who spend a year creating a theatrical love letter to their mothers. Award-winning director Christopher Houghton spent two years capturing the development of this powerful show with intimacy and cinematic grace. The result is an inspiring film that changes our perceptions of what is possible while paying homage to art and the power of theatre. Nominated for four AACTA Awards for Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Sound and Best Editing, Sons and Mothers also won Best Australian Documentary at Antenna Documentary Film Festival, Best Arts Documentary at the Australian Teacher's of Media (ATOM) Awards and was long-listed for a Walkley. Heart-warming, funny and refreshingly honest, Sons and Mothers invites audiences to leave their view of disability at the door and instead, through the sheer delight of the men's Ensemble, experience what it is like to be simply human.
