Following the success of one of his unique and thoughtful initiatives, Dwyane Wade expressed gratitude for the opportunity given. Even after retirement, the 3x NBA champion has continued to inspire and amaze us. ‘The Dads’ is a short documentary that features the story of five fathers of trans children, including Wade and his daughter, Zaya. The short documentary made news after it was acquired by Netflix.

The Flash motivates people not only by his basketball skills but also by the distinctive efforts he makes for his family and community. The latest one also involves his efforts toward society.

D-Wade constantly and tirelessly works hard to make an impact on society. It’s safe to say that he has been successful in doing so. The Miami Heat legend is also a part of the documentary’s executive producers’ team.

The film shows a heart-to-heart conversation between five fathers of trans children who joined Dennis Shepard, the father of slain gay college student Matthew Shepard, for a weekend fishing trip in rural Oklahoma. Throughout the conversation, the fathers candidly expressed their concerns about their children’s safety and discussed the ways in which they offered support.

A review by Deadline states, it’s “a quiet meditation on fatherhood, brotherhood, and manhood.” Wade took to his Instagram to share his gratitude. He wrote, “Congratulations!” He thanked the director of the movie, Luchina Fisher, as well as he added, “Luchina Fisher Thank you again for allowing us to be apart.”

Much like the story of the documentary, we’ve witnessed the basketball champion constantly support his daughter Zaya throughout her journey. Not only Zaya but the director and producer of the documentary also praised him.
