Directed by Natalie Rae AND Angela PattonThe film follows a group of girls whose fathers are incarcerated, as well as men who are in prison, who try to better themselves despite their circumstances.

The synopsis reads: “A moving portrait of empathy and forgiveness, DAUGHTERS traces an eight-year documentary journey by filmmaker Natalie Rae and social change advocate Angela Patton.

“The film intimately follows Aubrey, Santana, Raziah, and Ja’Ana as they prepare for a big father-daughter dance with their incarcerated fathers. Speaking openly about their aspirations, dreams, and the emotional toll of their fathers’ absence, compounded by the constraints of virtual visitation, these girls reveal a deep wisdom and resilience beyond their years.

“As they navigate grief, anger, and uncertainty, they seize a precious opportunity to connect. DAUGHTERS illuminates the complexities of family bonds strained by the relentless barriers of the criminal justice system and emphasizes that the foundation of community healing lies in the family unit.”
