You may want to get your tissues ready daughters. A new documentary streaming on Netflix is sure to tug at your heartstrings. I like it. The film follows four young girls as they get ready to meet up with their dads at a dance. These girls just needed a way to invite their fathers and to their lives. But this is not your usual father, daughter dance. You see these dads are locked up in a Washington DC prison. I don't even remember his face. I don't remember nothing about my father, Angela Patton. One of the film's directors is also the CEO For Girls for a Change, a nonprofit that aims to empower black girls. So I asked the girls, how can we help other girls develop healthy relationships with their fathers? Let's have a dance. For many of these girls, the stance will be the only time they'll be allowed to touch or even hug their dads while they're behind bars. Sometimes when I talk to him, tell him about my day and I remember he's not here. The fathers at the prison who want to take part in the dance must first complete a 10 week program just the detail, you know that they talked about their girls, their favorite color. She's got three favorite colors and she's lost her teeth and she's riding on a bike. The dads open up about their struggles to maintain relationships with their Children. While behind bars, my daughter was born when I was in prison. I had to see her through a glass, couldn't kiss her, couldn't hold her. The toughest moment is all ways. When the girls have to leave the ants, they didn't know it was going to hit them so hard. It's a heart wrenching journey. As viewers find themselves fiercely rooting for these girls and their incarcerated fathers to bond and heal. I will tell them that I see and see myself cry because the stuff that you do, I'm so grateful that the authenticity of these girls is shining everything that they shared with us that was so personal and vulnerable. You miss them. We, well, he says he loved me. I'd say I'm gonna say I love him more. One of the girls whose shortest steel viewer's heart is five year old Aubrey. I'm the smallest one in my class. My dad is the strongest dad. I know when I first met Aubrey and she wanted to take me on this tour in her backyard and show me all the places that her dad and her would catch. Butterflies. Daughters also shows the strains that families face as more and more prisons restrict and prohibit in person visits. We want to make sure people saw that these fathers are fathers that are serving time, but what it's doing to the family structure and while the documentary does deal with some heavy topics, the directors say the film is also filled with a message of hope. It's emotional, but it's also super uplifting and funny. And these girls are incredible and they're, they're sharing something so deep within themselves. It's very healing.
