BEST DOCUMENTARY - Magnolia Film Festival | BEST DOCUMENTARY - NYWIFT Online Shorts | "Susanna Styron’s stirring documentary ‘My Father’s Name’… was a perfect catalyst for the far-ranging panel discussion afterward… about race, reckoning and individual and collective responsibility." - MV Times

Family Secrets • Inherited Guilt • Unconscious Racism • Personal Accountability • Collective Responsibility • Burden of History • Truth and Reconciliation • Spiritual Reckoning

Years after her beloved father died, Jan Frazier made the shocking discovery that he had participated in a lynching. As she attempts to uncover the truth about what happened, she learns that this lynching was iconic in American history. Photos of it were the first ever to be published nationally, by both Time and Life magazines, in reporting on the anti-lynching bill that was before Congress at that moment. Additionally, she realizes that no names of the lynchers were ever published. Even the photographer was protected by a cloak of agreed-upon anonymity. Shaken by this stark reflection of white privilege and the brutality it sought to minimize, Jan must now reckon with deeply conflicted feelings about the father she loved, find a way to hold her family accountable, and face the dawning awareness of her own unconscious racism.

Harvard University | Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Professor of History
"MY FATHER'S NAME is a gripping and essential exploration of race, accountability, and the far-reaching consequences of family secrets.”

Yale University Divinity School | Willie James Jennings, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Systematic Theology and Africana Studies
"MY FATHER’S NAME is timely, urgent, and so necessary at this troubled moment. Everyone should see this."

The Washington Spectator | Hamilton Fish
"[MY FATHER’S NAME is] a wonderful illustration of the power and poetry of film, even more, the capacity of a short film to circumscribe a set of values and to attach them to a wide array of emotions. So much of the impact is achieved through understatement."
