Makes You Cry! Check Out Recommendations for Netflix Films About the Touching Struggles of Fathers

Written by: Adristi Putri Febrianti
  
Netflix offers a variety of films with diverse story themes, including those that can create emotional closeness with the audience due to their relevance to real-life situations. One of the frequently raised themes is about fathers and their struggles to protect their children.

These films that highlight the role of fathers can provide important lessons, especially for countries facing the issue of fatherlessness, which is the absence of a father's role in a child's development. Cases of domestic violence, such as those experienced by social media influencer Cut Intan Nabila, show how important the father's role is as a protector of the family, while also demonstrating that in some cases, that role can become a source of violence.

For meaningful family viewing, here are some films on Netflix that highlight the struggles of a father in protecting and supporting his children.
