Join our Anti-Racism team for their Summer Film Screening of “Daughters”!
Movie Description:
Daughters is more than just a story; it's a call to acknowledge and empower the incredible resilience of young Black girls and their families navigating the challenges posed by incarceration.
A moving portrait of empathy and forgiveness, Daughters traces an eight-year documentary journey by filmmaker Natalie Rae and social change advocate Angela Patton. The film intimately follows Aubrey, Santana, Raziah, and Ja’Ana as they prepare for a momentous Daddy-Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers. Speaking openly about their aspirations, dreams, and the emotional toll of their fathers' absence, compounded by the constraints of virtual visits, these girls reveal a profound wisdom and resilience beyond their years. As they navigate heartbreak, anger, and uncertainty, they seize a precious opportunity to forge connections. Daughters sheds light on the complexities of familial bonds strained by the unforgiving barriers of the criminal justice system, emphasizing that the foundation of community healing lies within the family unit.
