NOTES
Raising Fences tells the story of a man whose youth was spent committing petty crimes, experimenting with sex, and developing a mortal fear of police. Like many young black men, Michael Datcher's childhood was marked by the gaping hole left by an absent father. Out of that absence grew the desire to fulfill a dream that seemed almost a fantasy: to leave the streets behind, build a family, and become what he had wanted so badly-a good father. Moving past his self-destructive habits and taking responsibility for his mistakes wasn't easy. Datcher's journey nearly brought him to his breaking point-where he faced the threat of becoming what he feared most
