Fatherless No More is a powerful feature documentary that chronicles the extraordinary journey of an Orlando-based pastor and former Super Bowl Champion who makes an unprecedented move—choosing to live in an RV on Rikers Island.

 

Compelled by faith, he embeds himself in one of the nation’s most infamous correctional facilities for over a year. Through personal encounters and deeply human stories from within the jail’s walls, the film explores the transformative power of presence, compassion, and spiritual conviction.

 

A story of redemption, healing, and the courage to stand in the gap, Fatherless No More challenges what it means to serve and to love the forgotten.
