THE BIG FLIP—STORIES FROM THE MODERN HOME FRONT—special screening

WHY THE BIG FLIP MATTERSSomething's changing across America.Mothers are primary breadwinners in 40% of U.S. families.*The number of stay-at-home dads has doubled since 1989.*This reversal in traditional gender roles is what we callThe Big Flip. What's more, women are expected to not just close the income gap, but reverse it by 2028. In other words,The Big Flipwill be the new normal in 13 years.*BUT FLIPPING ISN'T EASY51% of Americans still think that kids are better off with mom at home instead of at work.*Only 8% of Americans agree that kids are better off with dad at home instead of at work.*This collective bias adds up, day-to-day, to have a negative impact on big flip families.Husbands whose wives make more money are 61% less happy.*Wives who are primary breadwinners are also significantly less happy about their family lives than other women.*Divorce is 40% more likely when the wife is the breadwinner.*THAT'S WHY WE MADE THE BIG FLIPWe want to dive into the lives of these pioneering men and women, and understand how their unconventional family set-up affects the dynamics of power, love, sex, and parenting in their marriages and their families.Ultimately, we want to answer the question that keeps these women and men up at night:What does it take for love to endure inThe Big Flip?COME HACK WITH US—SAT, SEPT 23Calling all creative minds—DIYers, makers, engineers, designers, entrepreneurs, storytellers and dreamers!

What happens when mom has the big job and dad stays home with the kids?
You have The Big Flip.
Over 18 months and across 5 cities—Portland, D.C., Nashville, Seattle and L.A.—this timely documentary follows four American families as they navigate the trials and triumphs of at-home fatherhood and mothers as main breadwinners. We journey with each family as they tackle major life changes—a birth, a lay-off, a cross-country move, and a mid-life crisis.
In a world where the majority of Americans still believe kids are better off when mom stays home, and that a good father should work hard to provide for his family, how will these families fare? Will resentments and doubt fester? Will love endure?
