A Grammy winning rapper out of the South Side reunites with his homeless father

Set against the crumbling landscape of Chicago's battered South Side, "In My Father's House" is a year-long journey from homelessness and alcoholism to self-discovery and redemption as Grammy-winning rapper Che "Rhymefest" Smith reunites with his homeless father in a quest to reclaim his neighborhood and discover his true self as a father and son. This amazing, touching, inspiring movie tale is brilliantly woven as the documentary captures hardship, sorrow and joy. This work will have you in tears, rejoicing and contemplating your everyday human interactions. This film brings solace to those in a similar scenario; growing up without a father. I sincerely recommend this film as it is a life changing story and a miraculous cinematic wonder.
