“Daughters” presents the story of four young girls as they prepare for a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers, as part of a unique fatherhood program in a Washington, D.C. jail. For most of the daughters, the dance will be the only time they will be able to touch or hug their fathers during sentences, some of which are as long as 20 years. Co-directors Angela Patton and Natalie Rae share with Tiller their experience meeting because of a TED talk (3:00), earning the trust of the mothers and daughters (8:30), working with the fathers inside the prison (15:00), the cinematographer’s vital impact (21:00), why the film took so many years to make (33:00), and how to follow their impact campaign (40:50).
