Daughters

About This Movie

Angela Patton's 'Daughters' (2024) invites you into a world that’s both heartwarming and heart-wrenching. The documentary captures the raw, emotional journey of four young girls as they prepare for a Daddy Daughter Dance in a D.C. jail. What makes this film stand out is its unfiltered look at the complex relationship between these girls and their incarcerated fathers. The atmosphere is laden with anticipation and innocence, yet there's an underlying tension that speaks to the reality of their circumstances. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to truly feel the weight of each moment. The performances, especially from the young girls, feel genuine and unguarded, making for a poignant exploration of fatherhood against the backdrop of incarceration.
