Beautiful Trailer and Poster for Sundance Award-Winning Documentary DAUGHTERS
A beautiful trailer and poster have been released for the documentary Daughters, which won the Audience Award and overall Festival Favorite at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Directed by Natalie Rae and Angela Patton, the film follows a group of girls who have incarcerated fathers, as well as those men who are in prison, working to better themselves despite their circumstances.
The synopsis reads: “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 and emphasizes that the foundation of community healing lies within the family unit.”
This looks like it captured a beautiful experiment, complete with raw and vulnerable experiences from its participants. Daughters will get a theatrical release on August 9 and a Netflix debut on August 14.
