Fallen Hero

Fallen Hero examines the relationship between Daniel, a father in the throws of a divorce and his seven year old son, Jerry, in the aftermath of a school parking lot altercation in which Jerry witnesses his father brutally beaten by another man (emasculated, if you will) in front of his classmates. The story deals with the disillusionment of the Jerry’s hero worship for his father and how he tragically deals with it when his classmates tease him. Fallen Hero also examines the delicate psychology involved in pre-adolescent males as it relates to their growing awareness of what it means to be a man.
The film stars Yennifer Behrens (A Day Without a Mexican, Boston Legal, General Hospital, CSI, Nip/Tuck, Jag, The Agency), Kurk Caceres (Prison Break, World Trade Center, Ghost Whisperer, The Closer, The Shield, ER, Threat Matrix, All My Children, NYPD, Pensacola: Wings of Gold, Resurrection Blvd., American Family), Sasha Hunter, Alicia De La Vega, and introduces Adrian Moreira-Behrens.
