LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Decorated New York City Firefighter, Persian Gulf Veteran, and filmmaker Louis Holmes is launching his highly anticipated documentary DEADBEAT, streaming exclusively on Apple TV. This powerhouse film arrives as an award winning documentary that pulls back the curtain on systemic bias and broken laws within the family court system, driven by high profile legal cases and global political testimonies.

The core hook of the film dives straight into the war on fathers, chronicling the raw, emotional journeys of men navigating a complex legal landscape often characterized by wrongful accusations, false claims, meritless restraining orders, and deep-seated double standards.

"Advocating for a victims seeking justice reinforces exactly why we must always fight to protect the vulnerable. DEADBEAT is unashamedly pro kid and pro family. It looks directly at the ripple effects of these high profile court battles through the eyes of a filmmaker who operates on the frontlines as a NYC firefighter. It emphasizes that no matter how powerful the celebrity crossfire gets, protecting the peace and custody of the children must remain our absolute priority." - David Sugarman, Agent
