What's Wrong With the Family?

Tonight, for one night only, Focus on the Family’s new documentary, Irreplaceable, will be shown at theaters in more than 700 locations across the United States. Irreplaceable follows the executive director of Focus on the Family New Zealand, Tim Sisarich, as he travels around the world searching for the answers to two vital questions: “What is family?” and “Does family still matter in today’s society?”

Along the way, Sisarich interviews a host of top scholars and writers from a wide range of disciplines, including Roger Scruton, Helen Alvaré, Ashley McGuire, Jonathan Last, Anne Moir, Frederica Mathewes-Green, Eric Metaxas, and Linda Malone-Colon. The documentary, and the small group curriculum called The Family Project that builds on the questions it raises, present an articulate and accessible compilation of the best analysis from traditionally minded scholars studying the family, its impact on society, and the factors contributing to its decay. As the film progresses, it becomes more theological, sending an empowering message of Christian hope and redemption.
