DEADBEAT MOTHER

Deadbeat Mother is a raw, emotional drama that flips the traditional narrative of parental neglect. When a mother who walked away from her children suddenly returns demanding custody, their father who has raised them alone through poverty, trauma, and sacrifice must stand against a system that often favors appearance over truth.

As courtrooms, social workers, and past mistakes collide, the children are forced to confront who really showed up for them and who didn't. The story pulls viewers into the painful reality of families torn apart by abandonment, addiction, and survival, while also celebrating resilience, loyalty, and unconditional love.

With powerful performances, gripping courtroom drama, and deeply human storytelling, Deadbeat Mother explores what it truly means to be a parent. It asks the question: Is being a mother about giving birth or showing up?

Bold, heartbreaking, and honest, Deadbeat Mother is a film that will spark conversation, stir emotion, and shine a light on families who are too often unheard.
