"We want to hear from men of all ages, first-time fathers, absent fathers, fathers who've been there but never truly been there, fathers who've lost and fathers who just want to find a way to say I love you, to tell their sons what they mean to them and to talk openly about what it means to be a man."
"The project invites fathers around the world to write personal letters to their sons, reflecting on their experiences of fatherhood. Graham will work with psychology lecturer Orly Klein to compile Letters to Our Sons, a book due to be published by Bloomsbury next October. Fathers can submit their letters from Wednesday 15 October until 12 January 2026, via the project's website."
"The series sparked widespread debate in the UK and beyond about the role of fathers, male role models and toxic online influences. MP Anneliese Midgley urged for it to be shown in parliament and in schools, arguing that it could help address violence against women and girls. Prime minister Keir Starmer supported the proposal, saying that watching the show with his teenage children hit home hard."
Stephen Graham has launched a project inviting fathers worldwide to write personal letters to their sons about what it means to be a man. Graham will work with psychology lecturer Orly Klein to compile Letters to Our Sons, a book to be published by Bloomsbury next October. Fathers can submit letters from 15 October until 12 January 2026 via the project's website. Selected letters will appear alongside contributions from Graham and other well-known figures. The project follows Graham's series Adolescence, which examined modern masculinity and pressures on teenage boys and sparked public debate about fatherhood and online influences.
