Description

A group of young girls prepare for a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers, as part of a unique fatherhood program in a Washington, D.C., jail. First-time feature directors Angela Patton and Natalie Rae embarked upon an eight-year journey to tell this story of family and forgiveness with the sincerity and delicacy it deserves, while also challenging stereotypes that audiences may hold about the prison system and the incarcerated. The unforgettable young subjects of the film are remarkably open and honest, creating a film of incredible empathy and emotional resonance.
