Grab your tissues. A new Netflix documentary titled “Daughters,” chronicles the lead up to a very emotional encounter at a daddy/daughter dance in a prison. A dance planned for young girls and their incarcerated fathers.
Co-directors Natalie Rae and Angela Patton followed the girls and their dads over an eight-year span –even after the dance – to capture the very tender, yet complicated bond between fathers and daughters under the strain of unforgiving barriers in the criminal justice system.
