Fantastic, moving, profoundly upsetting doc about the power of physical connections and commitment between fathers and daughters. Just one of many inexplicable horrors of our prison system is how people in prison are so limited in how they can contact their family. People can't thrive unless they can connect with people they love, and in return, have love to fight for. Unfortunately prisons aren't built for healing, which is why programs like this (and the one featured in Sing Sing) are so important.
This one hasn't sold out yet on Sundance's virtual platform so... get to it.

An enormously moving documentary made all the more effective by co-directors Angela Patton and Natalie Rae’s steadfast refusal to settle for easy sentiment in the face of difficult outcomes, “Daughters” has as much ugly-cry potential as any film in recent memory. But the most lasting power of this film about a unique father-daughter dance for D.C.-area Black girls whose fathers are in jail comes in a final act that wipes those tears away to examine the hurt they leave behind.
Like Garrett Bradley’s similarly lilting and delicate “Time” before it, “Daughters” conveys the destructive inhumanity of America’s prison system by pointing our attention toward its collateral victims: in this case, the children denied a meaningful relationship with their dads. “Daughters”…

"Our daddies are our mirrors that we reflect back on when we decide about what type of man we deserve and how they see us for the rest of our lives."
Addressed with utmost honesty, Rae and Patton's docu relied on the truths and sentiments of rehabilitation and forgiveness bespeaks the serious repercussions of paternal absence on young girls in terms of their ambitions, assurance, identities- and also the void that swallows up the requisite tenderness and belief. At first, akin to the girls' perspective, this reality makes me angry, then upset, and eventually develops into empathy toward the incarcerated fathers- make us feel the confusions, longing, helplessness among the both concerned parties; embraces the continuance of the mothers and…

The number of tears I shed in this film was equal to both sorrow and joy. Joy for some of the smaller child moments of excitement and all-knowing statements like, "I hate weeks" (in regards to time between the thing you're looking forward to). Sorrow obviously for the situation, the US prison system at large (including payment plans to merely talk to fathers and husbands in jail; men who can be moved on the whim to a different state entirely). But what makes this documentary great, beyond the observing camera, are moments of beautiful shots you rarely see in a documentary. And the transcendent goal of the film is empathy and looking at prisoners as human beings only. We never…

Highlights a very cool program particularly if it has the success rate that it purports to have. Some of the daughters are just too stinking adorable. It’s interesting to see the varying attitudes the girls have towards their incarcerated fathers. Some are outright adoring, some keep their dads cautiously at a distance, while others are pretty pissed at their dad. Interesting and well worth a watch.Credit to Tyler for the Bacon Number

If I made a list of the movies that made me cry the hardest, this would be in the top five for sure.

I was fine, i promise I was, untill I saw the fathers sitting down in their beautiful suits in a row, watching their daughters arrive. Then, i lost it. This film is an emotional rollercoaster which can shatter you into pieces. ❤

“you cry for the people you love”
caring is one of the few things all of us have to give, and this movie is a testament to that

DAUGHTERS is a profoundly humanistic documentary that organically tugs at the heartstrings. Beautifully explores a vital facet of rehabilitation within the challenging confines of the prison system: enabling inmates, particularly fathers, to physically connect with their families. Witnessing this through a Daddy Daughter Dance is a poignant & moving testament to the power documentary filmmaking can have with the potential to heal & reform.

… just here, sitting in a puddle of tears. When that man whose daughter couldn’t be there started admonishing his cellmates, I lost it.
