Daughters

USA
| 107 min.

A moving portrait of empathy and forgiveness, Daughters intimately follows Aubrey, Santana, Raziah, and Ja’Ana as they prepare for a momentous Daddy 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 visits, these girls reveal a profound wisdom and resilience beyond their years. As they navigate heartbreak, anger, and uncertainty, they seize a precious opportunity to forge connections, shedding light on the complexities of familial bonds strained by the unforgiving barriers of the criminal justice system. A Netflix release.

A Q&A with director Angela Patton and director and producer Natalie Rae immediately follows the screening.
