I Am Sam (2001) Netflix

Sam Dawson, a man with the mental capacity of a child, has devotedly raised his daughter Lucy ever since her mother abandoned them. When Lucy begins to outgrow his abilities, child services remove her and a custody battle ensues. Sam persuades high-powered lawyer Rita Harrison to defend him pro bono, and their courtroom fight becomes a moving confrontation between legal standards and the bond of love — ultimately reshaping Rita’s view of family and what it means to be a parent.
