Daughters if you love documentaries
If, on the other hand, you prefer documentaries and want to delve into a hard and moving true story, Daughters is the right choice for you. This docufilm is the result of eight years of work by director Natalie Rae and social change advocate Angela Patton. The film follows closely Aubrey, Santana, Raziah and Ja’Ana as they prepare for a special dance with their incarcerated fathers. Revealing a profound wisdom and resilience that goes beyond their chronological age, these young girls speak openly about their aspirations, their dreams and the emotional toll of the absence of their fathers, to which are added the constraints of virtual visits. As they deal with grief, anger and uncertainty, they seize a precious opportunity to build relationships. Daughters sheds light on the complexity of family bonds tested by the unforgiving barriers of the criminal justice system and demonstrates that the foundation for community healing lies in the family unit.
