Londoner #256 | Matt, Fathers 4 Justice founder

Matt founded Fathers 4 Justice

Matt is the founder of father’s rights organisation Fathers 4 Justice. After Matt divorced his first wife, with whom he has 2 children, he started the campaign that uses stunts to fight for equal parenting, family law reform, and equal contact for divorced parents with children. Fathers 4 Justice’s themes and ways are controversial. “I’m the only person fucking stupid enough to do it,” Matt defends himself in the film.

This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a ten-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view.

A Chocolate Films Production

This film was produced by Londons’ favourite video production company - the South London based film production company and social enterprise, Chocolate Films.
